Neco Williams goes into Saturday's clash with Manchester United one slip away from suspension.
The Nottingham Forest full back has picked up four bookings so far this season and knows his next could lead to a one-game ban.
The versatile defender has already been cautioned against Brentford, Arsenal, Sunderland and Chelsea and fifth yellow card will put him out.
To be fair the 24-year-old has been treading this tightrope for the last two Premier League matches - but he still has another ten to go if he is to avoid punishment.
According to The FA's disciplinary rules, any player who earns five bookings from their side's first 19 Premier League matches of a season will have to serve a one-match ban in the same competition.
Premier League yellow cards are not carried over to the EFL Cup or FA Cup.
Players who accumulate ten yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their side's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match suspension in the competition.
Forest are currently ranked tenth in the disciplinary table, with 17 bookings and no red cards. The only other player approaching the five card limit is Morato, who has three.
But with Ola Aina out, Sean Dyche could do without losing Williams even for a game, as he tries to steer the Reds away from the relegation zone.
