The coefficient is worth noting, one of the most productive teams' players this season already has 8 yellow cards, and here comes the city derby between eternal rivals. The first meeting between the two teams ended with Sunderland's 1-0 victory. Joelinton missed the match due to an injury, yet there were still 8 yellow cards collected between the two teams. Sunderland is very strong in defense and does not take risks with their goalkeepers, so we can expect a low-scoring match, which is always favorable for yellow cards.
Another player who has good chances to get a yellow/red today, another tough player who knows what it means to play in a city derby. There were doubts about him, but now it's been announced that he will start. He played in the first mutual matches and despite showing 8 yellows, he was not one of those who strongly surprised with their fierceness. Players like Xhaka do not miss many opportunities to get a card and the fact that he did not receive one in the first matches only increases the chances of him proving himself to the referee.
