Can you name the 24 teams that have won the old First Div/Premier League?

22/24 (with a bit of help on W.B.A., I admit, thanks @simmo), without looking at the hints. There's no way I would have got Huddersfield Town or Portsmouth, even if I'd stared at it all night long.
I like the hint for us. It also happens to be true. Another hint they could have given was, “They won it and then got relegated next season”!

Now here's a teaser for you. Of the 24, has anyone been in the fourth division?

Portsmouth
Wolves
Burnley

When you think about it, 24 is a tiny number of winners. Multiply all the years by all the teams and you must get more than 10,000 tries, yet the vast majority of clubs never anywhere near. They've got no istree, see.

Surprised that you missed Huddersfield. Famously won 3 in a row under Herbert Chapman.
He went to Arsenal and repeated the hattrick. One of the all time great managers, revered as a god at Arsenal.
SORRY. Meant to reply to @Lovebitesandeveryfing

Yep. Genuinely didn't know about it. I knew about Chapman at Arsenal of course.
Not an excuse, but I think I've got a bit of a mental block on Huddersfield Town. Probably the dirtiest match I ever had the misfortune to see was against them. They clogged us all over the park. I mean, they simply whacked into us wherever they could. Not sure, but might have been the Boxing Day match in 1970. The Kippax was wild by the end. I've rarely seen men collectively so angry. I was wild myself.
