Why Arsenal and Man City won't wear their new kits on the final day of Premier League season

Arsenal and Manchester City will not be wearing their new kits on the final day of the 23/24 Premier League season.

This season, both the Gunners and City have been going toe-to-toe for the chance to become champions of England.

After City won at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night, Pep Guardiola’s men hold a narrow advantage heading into the last match weekend of the season.

Ahead of the new season, teams often debut their new home kits on the final day of the campaign.

However, both City and Arsenal are set to decide not to use their new kits on Sunday.

As per the Daily Mail, City have since confirmed that they will be wearing their current season's kit, despite unveiling their 2024/25 home shirt on Thursday.

Last season, they wore the 2023/24 shirt for the final day of the Premier League season against Brentford, but reverted back to their usual kit for the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have confirmed in a statement: "The men will be wearing the current home kit for the game this weekend as we're still in the title race. The women will wear the new kit on Saturday."

Arsenal's women's side are currently third in the Women's Super League with one game to play, but are five points behind Manchester City and Chelsea with a game to play so will not be involved in the title race.

Back in the 21/22 season, Liverpool were still in the title race when they hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on the final day.

Usually, the Reds wear next season’s kit on their final home match but were wearing their 21/22 jersey due to their chance of winning the title.

Despite winning the match 3-1, Liverpool were beaten to the title by City, who won 3-2 against Aston Villa.

This weekend, City will host West Ham United knowing a win will secure their fourth Premier League title in a row.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will have to win against Everton at the Emirates Stadium and hope that their London rivals do them a favour by taking points off City.

Speaking ahead of the final day of the season, City boss Guardiola has reminded his players that nothing is secured yet.

He said: “People have to come to Etihad at 3 on Sunday knowing it will be difficult. They have to come with their families and bring the energy, win every inch and metre and deserve to win that game.

“All we have to do is win that game. To have the chance to live that possibility we are so fortunate. I think it will be quite similar to Aston Villa in terms of emotions and difficulty. I know my players and how they handle the pressure. We have to stay in the game. We will have to try to do it.”
