Reece James - Sent off with straight red James assisted the opener, but he was sent off just before the break because of a hand ball on the line in Saturday's match against Liverpool. Impact After a VAR check Saturday, a handball was confirmed for James and he was in turn given a straight red even though it hit a different body part first. It'll be hard to overturn given that he also swung his arm to get the ball off, meaning someone else will have to play wing-back after the break, possibly Cesar Azpilicueta.
