What Players Could Be Shown A Card?
Bruno Guimaraes
“Guimaraes wears his heart on his sleeve, and I think that passion could land him in a bit of trouble here against Newcastle’s fiercest rivals.
Guimaraes is probably Newcastle's most important player, measured by the impact his absence has on the side. It doesn't take much for Guimaraes to grow frustrated with the midfielder committing 24 fouls across his 14 Premier League appearances this season (1.79 per 90).
This record has translated into three yellow cards for Guimaraes in the Premier League this term, with his most recent caution coming against West Ham back at the start of November - so he's almost due a card when looking at his foul numbers this term, and this is the perfect opportunity for that aggression to leak out in the form of a booking.
No Newcastle player has picked up more bookings than him in the Premier League this season, with the Brazilian picking up seven cautions in the top-flight last campaign.”
Granit Xhaka
“I think it is safe to assume that Granit Xhaka is likely to be one of the main protagonists in what promises to be a fiery midfield battle at the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon.
The Sunderland midfielder is well known for playing with an aggressive streak that often draws unwanted attention from match officials.
While Xhaka has averaged 1.02 fouls per game in this season’s Premier League, I'm prepared to look beyond that here, given that tempers and tensions are expected to be strained during this showdown.
What’s more, the Switzerland international has already picked up four yellow cards in this season’s Premier League, three of which were shown at the Stadium of Light.
On top of all that, Xhaka’s likely direct opponent is Guimaraes, one of Newcastle and the Premier League’s leading players in terms of fouls drawn this season, earning an average of 2.46 fouls per game.”
Noah Sadiki
“Noah Sadiki has been one of the key reasons behind Sunderland’s success this season, with the 20-year-old covering more ground than any other Sunderland player and being a very combative player in the process.
He’s winning 1.29 tackles per 90 while committing 0.88 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season, which aren’t astronomical numbers but seem bound to increase in an atmosphere as intense as this one is expected to be.
These traits and metrics have translated to four yellow cards for Sadiki across his 15 Premier League appearances - no Sunderland player has picked up more yellow cards in the Premier League than Noah Sadiki this season.
He’ll be up against Sandro Tonali and Guimaraes, with Joelinton sidelined for the moment, who combine to win 3.71 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this term. Guimaraes is the main threat to Sadiki, with the Brazilian long being one of the most consistently fouled players in the Premier League.”
Trai Hume
“Trai Hume can line up as a right back or left back, but whichever flank he's chosen to defend here, he's vulnerable for a caution. Hume has picked up two yellow cards across his last five Premier League appearances, taking his overall tally to three for the season.
Hume picked up 11 yellow cards and one red card across his 44 appearances in the Championship last term, highlighting how consistent his aggression can be for the Black Cats. He committed three fouls and was shown a yellow card in the most recent head-to-head clash between these sides, which was an FA Cup tie last year.
He was up against Anthony Gordon on that occasion, which is a rivalry that can be renewed here should Hume start as a right back. Gordon would be the optimal opponent with the winger winning four fouls in that cup tie - and averaging 2.56 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this term.”
