It's a 1 match ban for 5 yellows before the end of game 19

Mind you, that is from the Sun, who have been known to get things wrong from time to time.

I think The Sun are wrong:

Who is suspended or close to a ban in 2021/22?

The Scout highlights the Fantasy picks at risk of missing matches in the coming Gameweeks

www.premierleague.com

'The suspension threshold increases from five to 10 yellow cards after teams have played 19 matches.

However just four teams will play their 19th fixture in Gameweek 19.

Postponements mean that Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Liverpool, Norwich, Southampton, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers complete their 19th fixture in Gameweek 20.

For Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Leicester and Man Utd they will play their 19th match in Gameweek 21, then it's Gameweek 22 for Spurs and Watford, and Gameweek 23 for Burnley.'

Posting this here as I think it's relevant to team selection on Wednesday.

Rodri listed as having COVID on Fotmob and the PL injury table.. Stones listed as injured on the latter as well.

Of course, owing to the concerning Covid-19 situation in the Premier League at present, concerns quickly spread for the Sky Blues pair, amid the assumption that both had likely returned positive Covid tests over the last couple of days.

Such fears, however, have since been quelled.

As confirmed in a post on Manchester City’s official website, neither Walker nor Rodri are ‘fully fit’, with risks, in turn, having not been taken on either player to feature against Leicester.

Pep will rotate the team without a doubt over the next couple of games. Not saying Brentford will be easy, but Arsenal is the more difficult game of the two. In terms of Wednesday, hopefully Stones will be fit as Reuben could do with a rest

I've got a bad feeling about this game....

That we might only score 4 or 5 goals.

As long as they score less I'll be happy.

4-0 City win

I thought the cut off was 19 games and today was the 19th game, mind you I could well be wrong

I think you are right. It's half a season
