    THE EXPLANATION

    The change is down to PSV's home kit, which combines their famous red and white shirt with black shorts. The clash means that at least one part of Arsenal's home or away kit would result in a clash with the home team's.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    A similar issue occurred during a 2022 clash between PSV and Arsenal. Arteta's side had to make a kit swap for that Europa League clash, too.
