Arsenal say their starting side against Leeds ended a 27-year wait to field six English outfield players in a Premier League game. Ezri Konsa, Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke made up the six. The previous instance was against Manchester United in February 1999. The statistic, published on 12 October, concerns outfield starters in the league, rather than an entirely English XI or the club's record across all competitions.
