Replays galore (including finals!) and 57 matches for sides getting relegated... but at least there were far fewer European games to deal with: Just how did England's big guns cope in the early years of the Premier League when there were 22 teams?

There is so much uncertainty around the Premier League at the moment that not only do we not know if it will restart, we also don't even know how many teams will be in it for next season.

One of the many theories being considered if the current campaign cannot be completed is ditching relegation yet still promoting three teams ahead of the 2020-21 season.

That is likely to be greeted with slow claps for any outfit already complaining about fixture congestion.

Yet this isn't unfamiliar territory for the Premier League, whose first three campaigns between 1992 and 1995 were made up of 22 outfits.
