36, or 49%, of these 74 have played for England

Only 10 out of the 220 players, or 4.5%, were English and aged 21 or under, three of them being 18-year-olds at Southampton – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ross Barkley, Steven Caulker, Calum Chambers, Phil Jones, Nathan Redmond, Luke Shaw, Jonjo Shelvey, James Ward-Prowse and Jack Wilshere.

Only three of the 23-man England Under-21 squad that beat Scotland 6-0 started on the opening weekend – Barkley, Shelvey and Redmond (Butland, Stones, Robinson, Chalobah, Wisdom, Thorpe, Keane, Sterling, Ameobi, Hughes, Dier, Wickham, Kane, Carroll, Lingard, Johnstone, Garbutt, Long, Bond, Berahino were the ones who did not).

TRANSFERS

£415.67m has been spent by Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window on 61 players. Only £57.213m (13.8%) of this has been spent on 12 (19.7%) English players – Shelvey, Carroll, Downing, Redmond, (Gary) Hooper, Bent, (John) Brayford, (Simon) Moore, Caulker, (Curtis) Davies, Huddlestone, (Dwight) Gayle.

None of the top eight clubs from last season's Premier League table (Man Utd down to West Brom) have signed an English player for a transfer fee in this summer's window.

• This article was amended on 20 August 2013. The original said Southampton had only 5 English players and that the percentage of English players in the Premier League for the 2013/14 season was 33.6%. This has been corrected.
