1 case, same as Burnley's...
As pointed out above, somehow Arsenal have the most Red cards of any team, despite a reputation as a particular unaggressive and soft touch play style...
How likely is it that those two are chance? And it doesn't require conspiracy, it only requires a lazy and tiresome narrative to get into the heads of referees, and refs to go on reputation. And there you have an unlevel playing field...
And I'd take it with a lot better grace if the actual outcomes weren't 4 Arsenal players careers being badly affected/ended in that time.

Was there anything particularly egregious about the arsenal cancellation? Did i read somewhere about only one positive test? Maybe it was deserving of the most opprobrium? 🤷♂️ I know all fans think their team are hardest done by (Liverpool fans assemble) but most reasonable ones don't really believe there's a conspiracy...
