This season, the Premier League has seen 989 yellow cards and 22 red cards issued. Let’s look into which teams have the worst disciplinary records so far in the 2025/26 season.
Here are the five Premier League clubs with the poorest discipline this campaign.
Everton
Everton’s place on this list is largely due to one incident where both Michael Keane and Idrissa Gueye were sent off after a scuffle during a 1-1 draw with Wolves in January.
The club has received four red cards this season, three of which were direct red cards, making them one of the top teams for dismissals.
Known for their aggressive style in the past, it’s expected that a physically demanding approach leads to a troubled disciplinary record.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth has only been shown one red card this season, but they rank high on this list primarily due to their extensive collection of yellow cards.
They have received 63 yellow cards in the 2025/26 season, matching only two other teams, one of which will be mentioned later.
Bournemouth’s high card count is somewhat unexpected, as their coach Andoni Iraola promotes an energetic style of play, likely leading to more fouls.
Wolves
The Wolves continue to struggle this season, not just on the scoreboard but also regarding discipline.
With 57 yellow cards and three red cards, Wolves might find themselves with more red cards than points by season’s end.
Since Rob Edwards took over, they have shown slight improvement, with only one red card received under his management.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham is facing the possibility of relegation for the first time in their Premier League history, and their disciplinary issues are a factor.
They have accumulated 66 yellow cards, the highest in the Premier League, along with three red cards, two of which were direct.
To avoid relegation, they will need to manage their discipline better as the season progresses.
Chelsea
Despite having a talented squad, Chelsea has struggled with team discipline in the 2025/26 season.
They have received 60 yellow cards and six red cards, making them a clear candidate for the least disciplined team this season.
While their discipline was poor under previous coach Enzo Maresca, there are signs of improvement under new coach Liam Rosenior.
