Who is suspended?

Matheus Cunha received a straight red card for violent conduct in Wolverhampton Wanderers' FA Cup fifth-round tie at AFC Bournemouth. He was handed an automatic three-match ban and was subsequently given a further one-match suspension by The FA for acting in an improper manner after his dismissal.

After being banned for the Premier League match at West Ham United and EFL Cup final victory over Liverpool, Anthony Gordon will miss a third fixture - at home to Brentford - for his straight red card in Newcastle United's 2-1 FA Cup defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion.
