On that occasion, with Andre Villas Boas’ side decked out in a half black and half grey and half black kit, Spurs were hammered 5-2 by an Arsenal team which contained the likes of Olivier Giroud, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere.

In September, Arsenal commented: "The PGMOL and Premier League ruled that our 2024/25 home kit features too much white, thus clashing with Tottenham's traditional colours, even with the option of red shorts and socks for us, which was also discussed."

Premier League teams can only play in three kits during the league campaign, hence Arsenal wearing the all-white kit in the FA Cup.

Earlier this season, Arsenal were banned from wearing their traditional red home kit in the north London derby away at Tottenham.
