Arsenal V Palace. Feb 2005. Arsenal's 16-man squad against Palace featured six Frenchmen, three Spaniards, two Dutchmen, one Cameroon international, one German, one Ivory Coast international, one Brazilian and one Swiss national.
Even when Chelsea fielded the first overseas line-up in English football at Southampton on Boxing Day 1999, there were still four young English players on the bench - Jody Morris, Jon Harley, John Terry and Mark Nicholls.
I think that a football league team fielded a team full of Scots in the 60's but cannot remember teams, dates etc. This is probably the first English league team to do so but the above is definitely the Premiership first

Fishfinger is right
Liverpool put out a side in the 86 final with players from the British Isles (except England) and I think an Aussie and a clown from Zimbabwe. Then I read on and you said premiership so Arsenal it is then.
