Arsenal will continue their fight against knife crime and youth violence in North London by wearing a changed all-white strip for their FA Cup third-round clash against Manchester United. The Gunners' women's team will also ditch the club's famous red kit for their FA Cup fourth round tie against Bristol City, also set to take place on Sunday.

It is to mark the fourth year of their No More Red campaign with adidas, which was first launched in 2022 to support work done by the club to keep young people safe in the local area. Gunners stars Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Alessia Russo discussed the campaign in three short films with three community leaders inspiring change in North London.

The club released images of the jerseys that will be worn this weekend, showing their attire 'drained of its distinctive red' to bring attention to the initiative. The kit will not be available to purchase, instead jerseys will be awarded to individuals the club say 'are making a positive difference in the community'.
