Bournemouth were the Premier League club to name the most English players in their starting side, with seven. But Chelsea and Newcastle did not name a single English player in their XIs. Data from analysts Gracenote shows the previous record low was 58 in four different match rounds during the 2015-16 season. England boss Gareth Southgate says it is "a big concern" "There's a lot of investment in academies and young players and there needs to be opportunity and jobs for them," said Southgate, who added that last year the average number of English starters was 33%.
