That Villa starting XI was the 55th time an all English team had been named in the Premier League.They have done so the most in the leagues history with 19 times.The other teams to do so are Arsenal (5), Coventry (4), Leeds (1), Leicester (3), Newcastle (14), Norwich (1), Oldham (3), Sheffield Wednesday (2), Southampton (1) and Tottenham (2).There has never been a Premier League match in which all 22 players in the starting XI of both sides were English the most is 21, when QPR faced Newcastle in January 1994. The only non-Englishman was QPR goalkeeper Tony Roberts; a Welshman.The last Premier League season in which an entirely English starting XI was named (1998/99) was the first season in which the percentage of English players used in the Premier League dropped below 50 per cent to 48.2 per cent.Julian Joachim playing for Aston Villa3

The first time a Premier League starting XI contained no English players was against Aston Villa at Villa Park in October 1999, 238 days after Villas game with Coventry.Norwegian manager Egil Olsens Wimbledon side featured three Jamaicans, two Scotsmen, two Welshmen and one apiece of players from Guyana, Iceland, Norway and the Republic of Ireland. Arsenal have named the most Premier League line-ups with no Englishmen (173), followed by Wigan Athletic (42) and Chelsea (30).Manchester United have only done this once in their 2-0 win in the Manchester derby in May 2009, with Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes coming off the bench.
