Chelsea's midfield produced a 12 year landmark after victory over Everton last week.

It was the first time since 2007 when Chelsea started a game with an all-British midfield, with Billy Gilmour, Ross Barkley and Mason Mount all on the pitch for kickoff.

Another homegrown Englishman, Reece James, showcased his versatility in the holding role when he replaced Mount for the final half-hour.

Before then, the most recent UK-only midfield to start a game was in the League Cup against Leicester on 31 October 2007: Shaun Wright-Phillips, Steve Sidwell, Frank Lampard and Scott Sinclair.

And in the league, you have to go back to a match at Leeds on 8 April 1998, featuring Eddie Newton, Dennis Wise and current assistant coach Jody Morris at the heart of a 3-5-2 formation.
