Manchester United are set to face Arsenal at the Emirates this evening as they kick off their FA Cup title defense. The Red Devils stunned fans last year by clinching the 2024 title after defeating Manchester City in a thrilling final under Erik ten Hag.
While red is traditionally the color of choice for the home side in this iconic fixture, tonight’s clash will see Arsenal don an all-white kit, breaking from tradition and adding a fresh twist to the match.
Arsenal and Manchester United will this evening renew their rivalry when they face off in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup clash. Manchester United will make the trip to London, a stadium where they lost at the beginning of last month in a Premier League game.

A Fresh Look: Why Arsenal and Manchester United Will Ditch Red in Their FA Cup Clash
Tonight’s FA Cup showdown at the Emirates will bring more than just football drama—it will also feature an unusual twist in team jerseys. Traditionally, the away team opts for their second or third kit when both sides wear red. But in this match, neither team will be sporting their signature color.
Why Arsenal Will Wear White Against Manchester United
Arsenal will step onto the Emirates turf in an all-white kit, part of their ongoing “No More Red” campaign aimed at raising awareness about youth violence. “No More Red, a joint initiative first launched in 2022, supports Arsenal in the Community’s 40-year mission to keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence,” the club said in a statement. Now in its fourth year, the campaign continues to make waves.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will be decked out in their blue away kit, the same one they donned during a recent Premier League clash.
Safe spaces. Role models. Connections.
This year, the No More Red initiative focuses on giving real meaning to the shirt, creating a sense of belonging and lifting the voices of individuals who are making a positive impact on their local community.

Arsenal’s Record in the White Kit: A Cause for Concern?
Arsenal fans might be feeling a bit uneasy ahead of tonight’s clash, given the Gunners’ track record in their all-white kit. This will mark the fourth outing for the “No More Red” kit, but its history isn’t exactly sparkling. Arsenal have managed just one win in the kit, a victory over Oxford in 2023, while suffering defeats to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
Adding to the intrigue, Amorim’s side comes into the game on a high after securing a hard-fought draw at Anfield last weekend. They could’ve even snatched a win had Harry Maguire converted a late chance. Will Arsenal’s fortunes change in white tonight, or will the kit’s unlucky streak continue?
