REVEALED: English teams ranked by overall number of top flight matches played

The English football league system was founded in 1888, and has been played almost every year since then.

Due to breaks during the two World Wars, there have been 115 seasons played in total, and talkSPORT have crunched the data to reveal which team has spent the longest time in the highest division.

Using the overall number of games played in the top flight, you can find the top 25 teams ranked from lowest to highest - including a number of sides playing outside the current Premier League.
