This Friday night, Unai Emery’s team plays Sheffield United in the Premier League.
With a victory at Villa Park, which has been an absolute fortress this season, Aston Villa will be able to take the lead in the Premier League.
Ollie Watkins, John McGinn, Emiliano Martinez, and company will undoubtedly finish the job, which will give Unai Emery great confidence going into the Christmas season and position the Villans for success.
The starting lineup must be willing to participate. But against Sheffield, three players do require special attention. This is the reason.
Three Aston Villa players risk suspension against Sheffield
The following Aston Villa players are just one booking away from a one-game suspension.
- John McGinn
- Matty Cash
- Jhon Duran
Since each of these players has received four bookings thus far in the Premier League, one more will result in a one-game ban.
This implies that they would be unable to attend the crucial match on Boxing Day, when Aston Villa travels to Old Trafford to play Manchester United.
Considering that the five bookings regulation is about to expire, Unai Emery will be thinking about this.
When does the one-game suspension for five bookings end?
For these three players to avoid an automatic one-match suspension, they must not receive a booking in their next two games.
After Premier League Game Week 19, players must get 10 bookings in the whole season to be banned; however, the punishment is doubled, with a two-game suspension.
Probably the player Emery will be most concerned about before the Sheffield match is John McGinn. It’s true that the impulsive skipper is frequently involved in problems.
He’ll just have to exercise self control since he’ll be sorely missed for the United match.
