Sin‑bins for yellow‑card offences in soccer could be given the go‑ahead as early as next month.
The International Football Association will look at the proposal at its annual meeting in London in March.
The measure has been tested in UEFA development competitions and some amateur leagues in recent years.
If approved, sin‑bins will come in at youth and amateur levels and could be introduced to the professional game within two to three years.
Meanwhile, Manchester City defeated West Ham 4-0 while Manchester United and Hull City played out a nil all draw.
