Gianluca Vialli is unveiled as the new Chelsea manager in 1998.

Can you name the first all-foreign Premier League starting XI from 1999?

On Boxing Day 1999, Chelsea became the first team in Premier League history to name a starting XI consisting solely of foreign players – but how many of the 11 can you remember?

The team was made up of players from nine different nations, none of them England, as Gianluca Vialli’s Chelsea ran out 2-1 victors at Southampton. The Premier League would never be the same again…

Think you can name the whole team? It’s a tough ask, but we reckon you’re up to it.

If you’re after another challenge after this, why not try and name every player Chelsea signed in the 2022-23 season?
