The latest installment of one of the fiercest rivalries in the English Premier League kicked off on September 15, as Tottenham Hotspur hosted Arsenal in the first north London derby of the season. With their home stadiums separated by about 5 miles, both sides traditionally wear their home kits during the match. But Arsenal donned their away uniform in the clash due to their red-and-white home kit featuring "too much white," according to the club. Arsenal last wore their away kit in the fixture 38 years ago. Tottenham looked to capture their first win in the series since May 2022, but fell to the Gunners 1-0.
