West Ham vs Fulham
Sunday 14th April, Kick-Off 14:00 GMT
- Tip: Joao Palhina to be Carded
Stuart Attwell Referee Stats
- 13 Appearances in the Premier League
- 63 Yellow Cards handed out

Joao Palhinha currently holds the top spot for the most yellow cards in the league, and we expect him to extend to that tally after Sunday.
The Portuguese midfielder is known for his aggressive style of play and is not afraid to engage in physical battles when controlling the midfield for Fulham.
He has racked up 12 yellow cards this season and commits an average of 1.67 fouls per 90 minutes of play.
Palhinha will have his work cut out dealing with the speed of West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and the midfield expertise of Lucas Paqueta. It’s worth noting that he received a booking in the previous encounter between these teams earlier in the season.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Sunday 14th April, Kick-Off 16:30 GMT
- Tip: John McGinn to be Carded
David Coote Referee Stats
- 13 Appearances in the Premier League
- 72 Yellow cards handed out
- Averaging 5.54 Yellow Cards per-90
We expect this to be a captivating encounter between Arsenal and Aston Villa, and we predict that the away team might receive a few yellow cards as they will aim to stop Arsenal’s ambitions for the title.
In a showdown where the midfield battle will be crucial, with the Gunners’ title ambitions at stake and Villa’s Champions League aspirations on the line, we anticipate a tense affair. Our prediction is that John McGinn will receive a booking during the game.
The Scotsman has amassed 8 yellow cards this season, with an average of 1.31 fouls per 90 minutes.
Despite his recent streak of eight games without a yellow card, John McGinn’s tenacity and competitive nature on the field suggest he might receive one in the upcoming match. Notably, he was booked in the reverse fixture against these two teams earlier in the season.
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa side will face a stern challenge, despite their earlier 1-0 victory this season. The upcoming match is expected to be intense, which could lead to rash challenges aimed at halting counterattacks.
Chelsea vs Everton
Monday 15th April, Kick-Off 20:00 GMT
- Tip: Moises Caicedo to be Carded
Paul Tierney Referee Stats
- 20 Appearances in the Premier League
- 70 Yellow Cards handed out
- Averaging 3.50 Yellow Cards per-game
Chelsea tends to accumulate yellow cards more than any other team in the Premier League, and Caicedo is one of the players on his team who frequently gets booked. Therefore, there’s a good chance he might receive a yellow card in the next match.
In the past five matches, Chelsea has accumulated a total of 13 yellow cards, while Everton has amassed 10 yellow cards during the same period.
Both teams have been averaging more than two yellow cards per game. This suggests that the match will likely be physical, especially considering the urgency for Everton to secure a win following their recent 2-point deduction, which has dropped them to 16th place.
Despite having a game in hand and a relatively superior goal difference compared to teams lower in the standings, Everton will be determined to secure their spot in the Premier League for next season. Which sets the scene for what is expected to be a tense and cagey affair.
