Rule changes The Premier League are introducing a cap on the number of players in a squad. From this season onwards, clubs will have to declare a squad of no more than 25 players at the end of August, when the summer transfer window shuts, and then again at the end of the January transfer window. Players aged 21 and under can be selected without being registered in the 25. Also being introduced this season is the "home-grown players" rule, which aims to encourage the development of young footballers at Premier League clubs. The new rule will require clubs to name at least eight players in their squad of 25 players that have been registered domestically for a minimum of three seasons prior to their 21st birthday. Teams A total of twenty teams will contest the league, including seventeen sides from the 2009–10 season and three promoted teams from the 2009–10 Football League Championship. Hull City, Burnley and Portsmouth were relegated from 2009–10 Premier League after finishing the season in the bottom three places of the league table. From the three teams relegated, Portsmouth had the longest tenure as a Premier League member as the club completed a seven-year stay at the highest level of English football. In comparison, Hull City and Burnley had to return to the Championship after two and one years respectively. 2009–10 Football League Championship champions Newcastle United and runners-up West Bromwich Albion secured direct promotion to the Premier League. Both teams made their immediate return to the Premier League after being relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season. Blackpool beat Cardiff City in the Championship playoff Final 3-2 on 22 May 2010 to join them after 39 years of absence from the top flight. West Midlands' Big Four This will be the first time since 1983–84 that all four major West Midlands clubs — Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers — will all have been in the top division at the same time. It will also be the first time that the Black Country derby will be contested in the Premier League.
