Three teams hold the distinction for receiving the most red cards in one Premier League game. Barnsley had three players sent off against Liverpool in 1998, a feat equalled by West Ham a year later.

The Premier League is heading towards a frantic title race between Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool remain in a strong position despite the “mayhem” of their Merseyside derby draw against Everton, with the Reds closing in on just a second league title in 35 years in manager Arne Slot ’s first season at Anfield.

The Premier League has deleted a statement which suggested Arne Slot was sent off for using ‘offensive, insulting, or abusive language’ at the end of a chaotic Merseyside derby. Tempers flared at Goodison Park at full-time after James Tarkowski’s last-minute goal rescued a 2-2 draw for Everton against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
