Arsenal players will wear an all-white shirt at home for the first time in the club's history, as part of a campaign against knife crime and youth violence.
The north London club's players will face Liverpool in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates on Sunday wearing the No More Red kit.
The Arsenal Women's team will also wear this shirt for the first time when they face Watford in the FA Cup fourth round at Meadow Park on January 14.
The kit, stripped of the club's traditional colour, was launched in January 2022 by Arsenal and Adidas in a bid to help “protect young people from knife crime and youth violence”.

The kit will never go on sale, the club says, but a new bespoke “Community T-shirt” will be available to buy in Arsenal stores for £30, with all profits going to their charity partners.
More red jerseys have been given away exclusively to community champions since the initiative launched to reward them for making a positive difference to London.

Speaking about the importance of the campaign, Arsenal's London star Eddie Nketiah told Sky Sports News: “It's a great campaign, which I really support.
“Keeping kids busy and keeping them busy always helps reduce the crime rate. I think that's really important.
“Growing up in areas where there aren't as many opportunities…we can show that you have these chances to stop thinking about things, to escape and get into this safe space where you feel at home and at ease.”
Through this campaign, Arsenal are renovating a third community ground at Mayville Estate, Islington, in early 2024.
They say the renovation of the first two courts since the campaign launched has seen more than 500 participants play across 200 sessions, as well as more than 9,000 hours of open access being offered to the local community.
Freddie Hudson, head of the club's non-profit, Arsenal in the Community, said: “No More Red provides a unique opportunity to highlight almost four decades of our local community work which has helped ensure the safety of thousands of young people.

“Young people face many challenges as they grow up in today's world and we don't have all the answers, but we are confident that by taking action together and shining a light on the network of support available in our community, we can make a meaningful contribution. to the lives of our participants.
Chris Walsh, Vice President of Brand Northern Europe at adidas, added: “Since we first launched No More Red in 2022, we have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from supporters wanting to contribute to the initiative .
“While the No More Red jersey will never be commercially available, the introduction of the No More Red community t-shirt will give supporters an opportunity to show their support and a way to make a direct impact.”
