Alexis Mac Allister is just one yellow card away from a suspension that could sideline him for Liverpool’s crucial match against Manchester City on December 1.
The midfielder has been a key player for Liverpool this season, helping the team stay at the top of the Premier League, but his disciplinary record has become a concern.
After receiving his fourth consecutive yellow card against Brighton at the weekend, the 25-year-old must tread carefully to avoid a fifth booking, which would trigger a one-game ban.
Liverpool face Aston Villa next, where any further caution would mean he’d miss the following game against Southampton.
If he escapes suspension through those matches but is booked against the Saints, he would be forced to sit out the anticipated showdown with Man City.
Arne Slot: I saw a lot of Mac Allister’s performances for Brighton. He can play anywhere in midfield three.
