The league game is my understandingDoes Muñoz miss the league cup game or the league game against Arsenal?
BumThe league game is my understanding
The law regarding the EFL cup/ EPL yellows were changed last year after a meeting with all the clubs most who were complaining about missing key players.The rules are a bit silly
If he had got a second yellow and sent off, he'd miss the cup game
But the 5 yellow rules only effects premier league fixtures
Bit of a backwards rule really
However would rather have him fit and flying for boxing day!
Correct, but according to the new laws, yellow cards are 'wiped' clean from the quarter finals.Both I am hearing, for 2 different reasons.
2 bookings in the cup and 5 for the PL game.
Agreed. We'll need him more for the Bournemouth and Southampton games and he will now enter the post-Christmas period on zero yellows.I dont see this suspension as too much of a problem . Against Ars we will be defending as a back 5 most of the time so a full back (Clyne ) will be just as good as the more attacking WB Munoz.
If it was going to happen Arsenal away was probably for us the best game to be without him .
No, my understanding of the new 'tweaks' to the laws, is he'll be ok for the cup game, but, not for the league game. Annoying thing is, after 19 league game the 5 yellows don't matter, it switches to 10 yellows.Sorry, so he's missing for both?

Lerma is on 4 yellows in the league, so he has to be a good boy for the matches v Arsenal, Bournemouth & Soton.

After contacting a friend i have at the FA, he got back to me & has said that Munoz WILL be suspended for both games v Arsenal. It's only after the qtr-final that yellows are wiped in the cup matches. My apologies for the misleading info i gave earlier.If he'd got a 2nd yellow and banned for the cup game, would that have been rolled over to the league game as he already is suspended for the cup game.
If not we've missed a trick there!
No worries I wasn't 100% with my post, it's what I had heard, they change the rules so often these days.After contacting a friend i have at the FA, he got back to me & has said that Munoz WILL be suspended for both games v Arsenal.

And with foul play VAR depends on a subjective view of whether a clear an obvious error has been made by the ref which kind of defeats it's purpose.No worries I wasn't 100% with my post, it's what I had heard, they change the rules so often these days.
Once upon a time men would joke that female supporters never understood the offside rule, not any more though. I gave up trying to understand the rules regarding offside and penalties ages ago. All I know is that when we play a big team they always seem to go against us. 😀
I looked it up online and I still got it wrong !
