Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister is teetering on the edge of a potential one-match ban as he faces Luton Town this Sunday at 16:30 GMT.
The midfielder, signed from Brighton for £35 million in the summer, has accumulated four yellow cards in his ten Premier League appearances.

One more booking will trigger a suspension, which is a concern for Jurgen Klopp’s team as Mac Allister plays a vital role in protecting the defense.
It seems almost certain that Mac Allister will face a ban at some point, given the upcoming nine matches, and it’s unlikely he can avoid another yellow card.
In the Premier League, a player who accumulates five cautions in 19 matches will receive a one-match suspension in the same competition.

As he heads to Kenilworth Road to take on Luton Town, Mac Allister must exercise caution. Interestingly, some fans might hope he gets booked in this game, as it would mean he remains available for the crucial clash with Manchester City after the international break on Saturday, November 25.
However, if he does receive a yellow card against Luton, he will miss the following week’s game against Brentford.

It’s worth noting that Mac Allister faced a straight red card during Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in August, but the decision was successfully overturned, sparing him from a potential three-match suspension.
In addition to Mac Allister, Trent Alexander-Arnold has accumulated three Premier League bookings, while Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, and Harvey Elliott have each been cautioned twice in the current season.
