Premier League clubs have submitted their 25-man squad lists and, whether they like it or not, that is their lot until the January transfer window.

Under new rules, each squad needs to have at least eight home-grown players in it and a player qualifies for this category if he has spent 36 months or more with a club associated with the English or Welsh FA before his 21st birthday, or the end of the season during which he turns 21.

Any number of Under-21 players of any nationality can be named in addition to the 25.

Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard lead Liverpool's core of eight home-grown talents.

Players such as new arrival Jonjo Shelvey and David Ngog are missing from the senior squad but can be called up from the extended list of under-21 players.
