Arsenal won't be able to wear their home kit for Sunday's derby at Tottenham. One of the Premier League's biggest fixtures sees the red half of North London face off against the white half, with both sides normally wearing their traditional colours, regardless of which team is playing at home. But that won't the case this time around with Mikel Arteta's side having to wear their black away strip for the trip to Seven Sisters. It will mean a different look to one of the league's most iconic fixtures. VIDEO: How Lee Carsley Has ALREADY Fixed England The Gunners have been told they have to wear black after a ruling from the the Premier League’s refereeing body (PGMOL). They have determined that Arsenal's home shirt is “too white” and clashes with Spurs’ home kit. The visitors had reportedly offered to switch to red shorts for this game, as has often been the case in the past, but that idea was rejected. It means Arsenal will instead don the all-black kit they wore in the 2-0 win at Aston Villa on the second weekend of the season.
