Why Liverpool will still play in third kit vs Arsenal despite having no kit clash

Arsenal will wear a special edition one-off kit against Liverpool.

The Reds make the trip to the capital in one of the most eye-catching ties of the round as two Premier League heavyweights go up against each other.

Why Liverpool will still play in third kit vs Arsenal despite having no kit clash.

Jurgen Klopp's side are currently top of the league and are five points ahead of Arsenal, who sit in fourth.

Both sides met at Anfield in December, where they played out a 1-1 draw.

At Anfield that day, Arsenal wore their luminous yellow away kit while Liverpool donned their traditional red home kit.

However at the Emirates Stadium today, Arsenal will wear a special edition kit which will see them take to the pitch in an all-white strip.

This is part of the club's No More Red campaign, which was launched in January 2022 to support the long-standing work undertaken by the Gunners to help keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence.

The shirts won't be put on sale but a new bespoke community t-shirt will be available to purchase from the club later this month, with all proceeds going to charities which are No More Red partners.

Liverpool will wear their third kit against Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday to show support for the ‘no more red’ campaign by not wearing their usual colours. ?❌ ⚪️ v ? #EmiratesFACup https://t.co/a0AXekdgTD pic.twitter.com/KmiE7zZ2Be
