Arsenal will wear their No More Red kit for the third consecutive season when they face Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The women's team will also wear the strip for their cup tie against Watford on January 14.

The white kit is drained of the Gunners' usual red.

It supports the No More Red initiative launched by the club and adidas in 2022, which helps keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice told the BBC: "When someone like me can say that they felt safe at a spot and comfortable, it can bring more people to do that as well.

"Things like what No More Red has done with the pitches and those types of spots, it's obviously such a massive initiative that young people can feed off.

"To be able to help young kids, to be able to talk and use my voice and be able to show that I was a youngster once and have been in tough positions as well, it's about education.

""For me now, it's all about youngsters growing up and being happy, feeling comfortable in their environment and living a good life."

Freddie Hudson, head of Arsenal in the Community, added: "No More Red provides a unique opportunity to highlight almost four decades of our local community work that has helped to keep thousands of young people safe.

"Young people face multiple challenges as they grow up in today's world and we don't have all the answers but we are confident we can make a significant contribution to the lives of our participants."

The No More Red initiative has made a number of new commitments for 2024, including investment in safe spaces to play football in North London.

While the playing shirt will not be available to buy, a t-shirt has been designed and will be made available to supporters.
