10 REASONS WHY

Somebody might get sent off at St James' Park tonight

1 David Elleray, the referee, has already shown Roy Keane the red card twice in the last year

2 And he's already booked nine players in one game this season (QPR v Tottenham)

3 And he showed more cards than any other Premiership referee last season

4 It would give Sky's "touchline reporter" something to talk about

5 Getting sent off is the easiest way to get a seat at St James' Park at the moment

6 It wouldn't seem right if such a high-profile match didn't end in some sort of controversy

7 Roy Keane

8 Faustino Asprilla

9 Eric Cantona

10 David Ginola
