In an unexpected turn, Arsenal will be wearing their away kit when they face north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday. The decision comes after referees' body PGMOL and the Premier League deemed Arsenal's red-and-white home kit to feature too much white, which clashes with Tottenham's traditional colours.

Historically, both teams have sported their home kits in this fixture. British media reports reveal that the last time Arsenal adorned their away kit for this clash was 38 years ago.

Both teams will be donning their away strips for the fixtures this season. Arsenal, currently fourth in the league, will wear their black kits on Sunday, while Spurs, in 10th place, will also opt for a different kit when they host Arsenal in January.
