Michael Olise’s return from injury appears to have restored Crystal Palace’s finest starting XI. The matchup this
weekend should be the first time the strongest team has started the season.
This could only last a week if Ayew is not disciplined in the Premier League encounter against Luton, which starts at
3 p.m. on Saturday.
Ayew currently has four yellow cards in the Premier League, putting him dangerously near to punishment. Players
who acquire five yellow cards within their first 19 matches will be suspended for one match.
If the Ghanaian international obtains a yellow card against Luton, he will be suspended for the match the following
week against West Ham.
Picking up four yellow cards in 12 games is not awful; nevertheless, Ayew’s suspension for a difficult game away to
West Ham would be a major setback.
Ayew, who earns £35,000 a week at the club, is a key player for the Eagles this season. The winger has only one goal and three assists, but his defensive play makes him a valuable player.
The attacker excels at tracking back and will thus be a significant loss against a team like the Hammers, who have
excellent attacking wingers.
As a result, the 32-year-old must use extreme caution against Luton and avoid receiving any unnecessary bookings.
It may be difficult for the player to avoid receiving a yellow card in the next seven games before the five yellow card
limit expires, but hopefully he will succeed.
