Several stars currently sit on four bookings for the 2023-24 campaign, with another yellow card meaning an automatic one-match ban.<\/p>\n<p>Players who have been booked four times this season will walk on a tightrope over the next few weeks. They still have seven matches until a fifth booking no longer results in a ban. After each club\u2019s 19th Premier League game, players will only face a ban if they are booked 10 times before matchweek 32.<\/p>\n<p>United captain Bruno Fernandes is one of those stars. The Portuguese midfielder plays on the edge of the rulebook but will need to be careful over the next few weeks, with Erik ten Hag relying on his key man to remain available.<\/p>\n<p>If Fernandes is booked during Sunday\u2019s clash with Everton, he will miss a big game against Newcastle a week later. Alternatively, a booking against the Magpies would mean he misses the visit of Chelsea on December 6.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Everton told 10-point Premier League deduction for breaking rules is fair[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Bruno-Fernandes-Man-Utd-yellow-card-5075724.jpg?r=1700506969036\"><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have their own player at risk of a suspension. Marc Cucurella has forced himself into Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s plans of late, but will miss the Blues\u2019 clash with former club Brighton if he is yellow-carded against Newcastle on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Like Fernandes, Cucurella could also miss Chelsea\u2019s trip to United in a fortnight if he is booked against Brighton. That would leave Pochettino without one of his most trusted defenders for an important game.<\/p>\n<p>Kai Havertz\u2019s frustrating start to life at Arsenal could grow worse if he is booked this weekend. The German will miss the visit of Wolves on December 2 if he is booked at Brentford on Saturday.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ex-Man Utd scout Marcel Bout&#8217;s admission about the Glazer family speaks volumes[TRANSFERS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ex-Man Utd ace&#8217;s XL Bully attack had owner petrified his dog was going to die[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal &#8216;refusing to rule out&#8217; sanctioning surprise January exit for Vieira[GOSSIP] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-Kai-Havertz-5075731.jpg?r=1700506969078\"><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Manchester City duo Rodri and Jack Grealish are both in danger of being unavailable to Pep Guardiola.

Rodri has already faced a three-match ban this season after being sent off against Nottingham Forest in September.
