Arsenal to make rare North London derby change after PGMOL ruling

Colour clash: Arsenal, Spurs impacted by rare kit ruling

Arsenal reveal that they cannot wear their traditional red home kit for Sunday's North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur due to a possible clash.

Arsenal have revealed that they will not be able to play in their traditional red home kit in Sunday's North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur due to a possible kit clash.

In seasons gone by, the two bitter rivals have usually sported their home jerseys in both Premier League fixtures, with Arsenal wearing red at White Hart Lane down the years and Spurs donning their recognisable white at the Emirates.

However, Arsenal's 2024-25 home kit features white sleeves and a large strip of white down the sides of the shirt, as well as the same colour on the shorts, which the Premier League feared could lead to a potential clash.

As a result, the Gunners will make a rare change to their black away kit for Sunday's trip to Tottenham, which they have already worn once this campaign in their 2-0 win away to Aston Villa.

Arsenal revealed in a statement that they had raised the idea of wearing both red socks and red shorts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the Premier League and PGMOL still upheld their decision.

The ruling also means that Tottenham will have to wear their light blue away strip when they visit the Emirates for the second North London derby of the season on January 14.

Arsenal have won their last two Premier League matches away to Tottenham, but Arteta is facing a selection crisis in midfield for the weekend's derby following a nasty ankle injury to captain Martin Odegaard.
