Watford and West Ham United are officially the dirtiest teams in the Premier League so far this season.
Many people choose to turn a blind eye to the disciplinary tables in fear of their side being at the top, however some will revel in letting their rivals know about just how dirty their side has been this season.
As reported by ESPN, the two Premier League sides currently leading the way are Watford and West Ham United.
Both London-based sides have accumulated 26 yellow cards and one red card throughout the first ten games of the campaign, with the Hammers in particular having a notable history of violence both on and off the pitch.
West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland are next up in the rankings, meanwhile the three sides that will happily take up the relegation spots are Southampton, Leicester City and Swansea City with just 15 yellows a piece.

It is certainly interesting to note that the hard-tackling style that seems to have been implemented at Watford and West Ham has certainly led to different fortunes, with Watford flourishing up in the top half meanwhile West Ham are struggling under Slaven Bilic.
Whether or not either team will choose to rectify their dirty ways for the remainder of the season remains to be seen, but once the suspensions start pouring in it will likely be taken under serious consideration.
