Chelsea is alarmingly accumulating red cards, with six dismissals in 20 matches this season, four in the Premier League, setting them on course to break the league’s all-time record, much to coach Enzo Maresca’s frustration.
According to a report from DailyMail, Chelsea have now received six red cards during the 2025/26 campaign — a startling disciplinary tally that leaves them within reach of equalling or surpassing the Premier League single-season record of nine red cards, jointly held by Sunderland (2009/10) and Queens Park Rangers (2011/12).
The dismissals have come from a variety of infractions across different matches, reflecting a troubling trend of ill-discipline under the club’s present regime.
As the season progresses, Chelsea risk rewriting the record books — not for success, but for excess in red cards.
With pundits already flagging the possibility of surpassing the record, Chelsea now face mounting pressure to curb reckless challenges and avoid further expulsions.
Should the trend continue, this season could mark a dubious milestone in Premier League history.
