Would someone persuade the Match of the Day lot to tell us how many English players are on the field ?

For what purpose?

The reason we (Burnley) have so many Brits playing for us is that we cannot afford the sort of wages foreign players would expect.

Check out the line-ups before the start of each match broadcast and work it out for yourself?

Italy play England in a friendly on Tuesday, how many Englishmen are fielded... I'll leave that for the ITV crew to figure out.
