A Manchester United star is among a trio of players likely to receive Premier League's first-ever blue card, according to a new study.

Football's lawmakers IFAB (International Football Association Board) are to trial sin-binning players and blue cards.

A player would be removed from the field of play for 10 minutes after being given a blue card as goalkeepers aren't exempt from receiving a blue card.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp pulled no punches when asked about the innovation as he called out IFAB, who want to get tough on dissent in the game.

Stricter rules on dissent have seen a rise in yellow cards in the Premier League this season as referees were instructed to clamp down on unacceptable backchat.

The Athletic have revealed who are the worst offenders for dissent in England's top flight when it comes to teams and players.

Chelsea lead the way for yellow cards for dissent this season, having been issued 15 bookings for the offence.

Manchester United and Fulham have received 13 and 14 yellow cards for dissent respectively.

10 yellow cards for dissent have been handed down to Tottenham and Wolves.

Liverpool, West Ham United, Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Brighton have all been hit with nine yellow cards for dissent.

In terms of individuals, Man United's Bruno Fernandes, Fulham's Andreas Pereira and Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson lead the way with four yellow cards for dissent, making them the likeliest players to pick up the first-ever blue card in the Premier League.

Fernandes has come in for criticism with his actions on the pitch and missed his side's fixture against Liverpool through suspension after he was given a late yellow card for dissent.

Lucas Paqueta, Neto, Gabriel Jesus, Matheus Cunha, Sean Longstaff, Darwin Nunez and Enzo Fernandez have all been issued three yellow cards for dissent.
