Arsenal were not allowed to play with Tottenham in their traditional colours. What was the reason?

Arsenal has been prohibited from playing in their traditional club colors for the North London derby against Tottenham.

Details: Arsenal will wear their black away kit for the match against Tottenham on Sunday after the Premier League ruled that the club's home kit contains too much white. This clashes with the traditional colors of the "Spurs" (white and navy blue).

Recall: Arsenal will visit the "Spurs" for a highly anticipated clash this coming Sunday, September 15.

The "Gunners" manager, Mikel Arteta, faces several squad issues ahead of the match. The team's captain, Martin Ødegaard, was injured during Norway's national team game and had to leave the field early. In post-match photos, Ødegaard was seen using crutches.

Arsenal's summer signing, Mikel Merino, dislocated his shoulder in his very first training session with the team and is not expected to debut until October. Meanwhile, midfielder Declan Rice is suspended following a red card in the match against Brighton.
