Yep. Would be stupid of Roy to risk him. For us, Fernandinho and Kompany are on 4, too, so both could/should be rested (although I guess Kompany will be a no-show anyway).

Making it the matchday halfway point would make more sense than the changeover of the calendar year, admittedly (unless League Cup games are also factored in, which I think they might be).

A 5th yellow card on or after the 20th league game earns no ban.

According to the Premier League rules:

An accumulation of 5 yellow cards results in a one match suspension.
An accumulation of 10 yellow cards results in a two match suspension.
An accumulation of 15 yellow cards results in a three match suspension.
If a player reaches a total of 20 yellow cards for the season he/she is required to attend a special hearing at the FA to discuss their on-field behaviour.
However, there is a concept of cut-off dates for yellow cards.

The five yellow card count is “reset” on 31st December. It means a player receiving their fifth yellow card of the season on January 1 or later will not receive a ban.
The ten yellow card count is “reset” on second Sunday in April. It means a player receiving their eleventh yellow card of the season after the second Sunday of April will not receive any ban.

For example, a Premier League player earning their fifth caution of the season on or after the 20th League Match would not earn any ban. However, if they received ten cautions by the 32nd League Match, a ban would apply.
