Arsenal and Chelsea worst at giving opportunities to English players

England national team manager Gareth Southgate has expressed concern after the number of minutes played by English players in the Premier League fell below 30% for the first time in 2018/19. Burnley were the only side who fielded English players for over 50% of their Premier League minutes. Arsenal (6.0%) and Chelsea (7.0%) were the worst offenders, fielding just 11 English players between them all season, six of whom played the equivalent of less than two games each.
