History was made in Leeds United’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur. For the first time in the club’s competitive history, a line-up was named with no players eligible for England selection.
According to LUFC Data, every previous competitive line-up named by the Whites included at least one player eligible to represent The Three Lions. Liam Cooper was, of course, born in England, but he has declared for Scotland’s national team.
Jack Harrison has been the player holding off this particular record in recent weeks, but an injury forced him out of the squad in the capital. Leeds had players eligible for France, Germany, Scotland, Netherlands, USA, Spain, Denmark and Italy starting at Spurs.
