Arsenal have announced that they will wear a special all-white kit for their FA Cup third-round tie with Liverpool this Sunday.
The club, in collaboration with their kit suppliers adidas, are wearing the strip as part of their "No More Red" campaign, which is to support the long-standing work undertaken by Arsenal to help keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence.
The kit will not be for sale but a bespoke t-shirt will be available to purchase from Arsenal stores on 29 January, with the retail price of the product (£30) being donated to various "No More Red" charity partners.
It is the third season in a row that Arsenal have worn the kit in the FA Cup, however this Sunday marks a special occasion as it is the first time they are wearing it at home.
'We will sleep better if we can make the streets safer'
In his pre-match press conference, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke about how important the campaign is.
"I think is a great initiative from the club," Arteta said.
"I think [it's about] giving support and creating a safer environment with the power and the capacity that we have to help people and transform certain areas of London.
"It's a campaign that started three years ago and has helped a lot of people already and brought a lot of attention, so if we can make the streets safer around our city, especially for people with kids, we will sleep better."
'It's a massive initiative that young people can feed off'
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice says No More Red can have a huge impact.
"When someone like me can say that they felt safe at a spot and comfortable, it can bring more people to do that as well," he says.
"Things like what No More Red has done with the pitches, and those types of spots, it's obviously such a massive initiative that young people can feed off."
