FootballArsenal vs Liverpool: Why Arsenal Will Wear White Kit at Emirates Ahead of FA Cup Clash
- Arsenal will host rivals Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup
- The Gunners are expected to sport a unique white kit for the tie
- The Liverpool clash comes days after they lost 2-1 to Fulham
Arsenal are set to dump their traditional red colours when they host rivals Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup.
The tie is highly anticipated given that Arsenal needs to bounce back whilst Liverpool looks to maintain their form.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are among the other teams set to play EPL rivals in the third round of the FA Cup.
With both Liverpool and Arsenal wearing red whenever they are playing at home, the former would be required to sport their away kit for the trip to the Emirates on Sunday.
As such, the Gunners, who are the hosts, would be expected to don their traditional red jerseys.
However, this will not be the case, with Mikel Arteta's charges scheduled to wear an all-white kit at home.
Why Arsenal will wear white kit vs Liverpool
According to Sportbible, Arsenal have worn a white Adidas strip for the last two seasons.
The move is part of the club's 'No More Red' campaign aimed at raising awareness on knife violence and crime.
The initiative was launched in 2022, and Arsenal have since worn white in the third round of the FA Cup.
They first sported the kit against Nottingham Forest, where they lost at City Ground, before they recorded a 3-0 win over Oxford United a year later.
Interestingly, this specific strip is not available for purchase, with supporters required to buy a special 'No More Red' community t-shirt instead.
