Which kit will Arsenal wear to lift Premier League trophy today?

Arsenal will officially be presented with the Premier League trophy this afternoon.

The Gunners clinched a first Premier League title in 22 years on Tuesday night after Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

As a result, Arsenal face Crystal Palace on the last day of the Premier League season as champions and Mikel Arteta has rung the changes at Selhurst Park for what is a stress-free fixture.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, Max Dowman, Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke are among those handed a start, with the likes of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and William Saliba all rested.

Palace are assured of safety and, just like the Gunners, have a European final to prepare for following Sunday afternoon’s London derby.

Therefore, the main focus for the Arsenal fans who have made the short trip across the capital is the Premier League trophy presentation.

Standard Sport understands Arsenal's trophy coronation will take place around 30 minutes after the match, once Palace have given Oliver Glasner his send-off at the end of his final home match in charge.

The Gunners will then continue any celebrations later in the night privately, rather than staging any sort of trophy lift at the Emirates Stadium.

What kit will Arsenal wear to lift Premier League trophy?

With Arsenal facing Palace away from home, it means they are wearing their away kit due to a colour clash. However, it is understood that the Gunners will not lift the Premier League trophy in their changed strip.

Instead, Arsenal are expected to change into this season’s red Adidas home kit for when captain Martin Odegaard and the rest of the squad finally get their hands on the Premier League trophy.

Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the Gunners will wear red against Paris Saint-Germain next weekend, making it their first Champions League final in which they have worn their home kit.

The Gunners will be in red shirts, white socks and red socks, with David Raya in his yellow goalkeeper strip.
