Hmm... Don't have the time to check this completely right now, but whoever did this for Wiki has included all clubs that were in the Premiership last season and those for next season as well, so 23 clubs altogether.
In addition, they've kept it up to date, so, for example, John Obi Mikel was in the squad on June 1st, so for the purposes of this question he's in, but Wiki doesn't include him.
More checking needed...
