In Chelsea's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, they fielded the eighth youngest starting eleven in Premier League history but it was just shy of Everton's record in 1997.
The London club have invested heavily in young talent and had an average age of 23 years and 284 days but it fell short of Everton's average of 23 years and 14 days from 1997 in their game against Bolton - a game in which they won 3-2 courtesy of a hat-trick of headers from big Duncan Ferguson.
Taking the number one spot on the list, however, was Middlesborough in 2006 as an 18-year-old Lee Cattermole led out a side with seven teenagers as Steve McClaren prepared for the UEFA Cup final just days later, with his time possessing an average age of 20 years & 181 days.
With Chelsea's record club attempt now in the history books, we thought we would revisit Everton's starting line-up from that day in 1997 to see who made up their youngest ever side.
