Arsenal will wear their away kit in Sunday’s north London derby for the first time in 38 years after their red-and-white home shirt was deemed to clash with Tottenham’s colours.

The Gunners will don their black away strip at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said their home shirt “features too much white”.

Arsenal also said wearing their home shirt with red shorts and socks was discussed but not agreed on.

As part of PGMOL’s decision, Tottenham will also wear their away kit when they visit Emirates Stadium in the reverse fixture in January.

“The PGMOL and Premier League ruled that our 2024-25 home kit features too much white, thus clashing with Tottenham’s traditional colours, even with the option of red shorts and socks for us, which was also discussed,” said Arsenal.

“As a result, for the first time in recent ‘NLD’ history, we’ll be wearing our change colours.”

Arsenal Shirt Collection on X, external say the club last wore their away shirt in the derby during the 1985-86 season.

Mikel Arteta’s side go into the match fourth in the Premier League with seven points from their opening three games, while Spurs are 10th on four points.

The Gunners have won on their past two visits to Tottenham.

Engels made more than 50 appearances in the Bundesliga and made his Belgium debut as a substitute in Friday’s 3-1 win over Israel – two days before his birthday.

However, he believes that playing for Celtic will help him progress further and that “it’s an amazing team” and “everybody is teaching me a lot” already.

“It’s a really big club,” he said. “I think it’s the biggest club in Scotland – they play every time for the championship and for the cups.

“So it’s obvious that it’s a step forward for me and also, with the new format of the Champions League, I think it can be really amazing and special.

“To be under pressure to win every game – this is something I want to experience.”

Engels moved to Germany 18 months ago, having come through Club Bruges’ youth academy.

“I left home really early and I needed to do things for my own and look after myself,” he said.

“It helped me to grow up really quickly – actually quicker than I expected. I always believed in myself and that’s why I made the step there and that’s why I also made the step here, because I believe in myself and I want to show what I have got.”

Engels played for Bruges’ B team while current Rangers manager Philippe Clement was in charge and the pair greeted each other at Celtic Park before he made his debut as a substitute in his side’s 2-0 derby victory.

“I worked with him, so it’s normal that we see each other,” Engels said before adding that, although “it was nice to see him”, it was also good “to beat him”.

Republic of Ireland Under-21s’ hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Euro finals suffered a blow as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Tallaght Stadium by a Latvia team who had previously failed to pick up any points away from home during their campaign.

The Irish took the lead on 16 minutes when Rocco Vata pounced on a wayward Latvia pass and played the ball through to Sinclair Armstrong, whose initial shot was well saved by Janis Beks, but the ball fell to him kindly and he coolly passed into the net.

The hosts were well in control and Armstrong forced the visiting keeper into a fine save, while Vata scuffed a shot wide and then crashed a shot from distance off the inside of the post.

Three minutes before the interval Latvia levelled when Adolfs Maslovs ran down the right and crossed for Kaspars Anmanis to meet the ball first time and fire past Josh Keeley.

A blundered attempted catch by Keeley in the 63rd minute left Ivans Patrikejevs to score with a simple header but two minutes later Sean Roughan equalised with a drilled finish after an excellent ball from Andy Moran.

With only one automatic qualification spot up for grabs, Jim Crawford’s side trail group leaders Italy by four points with a match in hand, with Norway two points behind the Irish in the battle for second place.

“We’re used to that. We love to feel hard done-by. But this, legitimately, is arguably one of the very favourable teams that they could have got.”

Glasgow City have twice reached the quarter-finals, the latest in 2020, but no Scottish side has reached the 16-team group stage since it was established in the 2021-22 season.

Celtic were unseeded in the “champions path” section of Monday’s draw after winning their qualifying mini-tournament for the first time in three attempts.

Meanwhile, three top-20 clubs are guaranteed to miss out from the five “league path” ties.

Corsie pointed out that former Scotland midfielder Kim Little’s Arsenal, who are ranked seventh and thumped Scottish Women’s Premier League runners-up Rangers 6-0 in qualifying last week, face a tough game against 12th-ranked Swedes Hacken, while fourth-ranked Paris Saint-German face Juventus in ninth.

Manchester City, who have Scotland goalkeeper Sandy MacIver in their squad, will be wary of Paris FC, despite the French side being ranked nine places below in 20th, given they knocked Arsenal out in qualifying last season.

“Three of those six clubs won’t progress,” Corsie said. “And then you have Celtic, who’ve got a huge opportunity.”

Corsie said you “can’t disrespect” the fact Vorskla are five-time champions of their domestic league but added: “I massively hope Celtic put in two huge performances and I think, if they do that, they will progress and that would honestly be fantastic for the Scottish game.”

If they do, they will be joining Sam Kerr’s Bayern Munich and fellow Scotland midfielder Erin Cuthbert’s Chelsea, who automatically qualified for the group stage as champions of their respective countries along with reigning champions Barcelona and last season’s runners-up, Lyon.

Meanwhile, Scotland midfielder Caroline Weir, who scored a double for Real Madrid last week on her return from a year out through injury, also has a great opportunity to be playing in the group stage.

Spain’s runners-up, who are ranked eighth in Europe, will be strong favourites to defeat 74th-ranked Sporting Lisbon, whose squad includes former Celtic forward Jacynta Galabadaarachchi.

Aston Villa have defended their Champions League ticket prices after a backlash from supporters, and insist they must make “difficult decisions” to stay competitive.

The club were labelled “out of touch” last week after revealing they were charging up to £97 a ticket for home Champions League matches this season.

Adult tickets for their four home matches in the new 36-team league format will be £85, £94 and £97, while season-ticket holders get discounted rates of £70, £79 and £82.

The Premier League club host Bayern Munich, Bologna, Juventus and Celtic in their return to Europe’s top club competition for the first time in 41 years.

Aston Villa Supporters’ Trust (AVST) criticised the move, but president of business operations Chris Heck has outlined why the club have charged so much.

He said: “We recognise and understand the depth of passion felt amongst fans and their recent frustration around ticket pricing. Achieving our sporting ambitions while complying with financial stability regulations requires difficult decisions.

“Financial fair play (FFP) rules prohibit owners from covering shortfalls to finance this ambition, so we need to generate as much revenue as possible through sponsorships, merchandise and ticket sales to ensure that we can keep the club where it rightfully belongs – competing and winning at the top of English and European football.

“Our priority will always be to match our collective ambition while ensuring that we are able to increase stadium capacity each season and provide the best matchday experience for all our fans.”

Republic of Ireland internationals Niamh Fahey and Leanne Kiernan have signed new contracts at Liverpool.

Fahey joined the Reds in 2018 and has captained the side since 2020.

Kiernan arrived in 2021 and has scored 19 times in 47 appearances for Matt Beard’s side.

Both players were part of the Liverpool team that won the Women’s Championship title in 2022 and then secured a fourth-place finish in the WSL last season.

“I’m absolutely delighted to have another season in red. I really enjoy my time here with the club and after a brilliant last season I’m looking forward to pushing on,” Fahey told Liverpool’s website.

While the 36-year-old remains focused on prolonging her playing career, the club confirmed that Fahey will “explore opportunities to gain coaching experience alongside manager Matt Beard and his staff” during the season.

“I’m preparing for a little bit of life after football,” Fahey continued.

“The offer to do some coaching – Beardy spoke with me and I’m so grateful for this opportunity to learn off everyone and get my ideas as well how things work off the pitch.”

Kiernan suffered a serious ankle injury in the opening game of the 2022-23 WSL season.

She returned for the end of the season, scoring against West Ham and Chelsea before netting a hat-trick on the final day against Leicester City.

“It’s amazing [to sign a new contract], I love the club, I love the fans, and I love the people,” Kiernan said.

“Liverpool is home for me, I’m just really enjoying myself here.”

Former Premier League striker Nile Ranger has joined Southern League side Kettering Town.

The 33-year-old had been without a club since January 2023, last featuring as a substitute in Boreham Wood’s FA Cup loss to Everton 10 months earlier.

Prior to that he had two spells at Southend United, the first of which ended because of “reoccurring disciplinary issues”.

The former Newcastle academy graduate made his first appearance for Kettering during their 2-1 win against St Ives Town in the seventh tier on Monday.

“It was his first game, he hadn’t met the lads. He’s come in out of the cold, he’s not played for a while,” Kettering manager Richard Lavery told BBC Radio Northampton.

“You could see in the first half he was rusty, in the second half he turned up.

“There’s a lot more to come from him, he hasn’t played at those levels for nothing, has he?”

Ranger scored 25 goals in 147 appearances in the top four tiers of English football.
