- A pleasing instance of both goalkeepers wearing green in the Crystal Palace-Arsenal game
- In gameweek 10, the Premier League asked Bournemouth to wear white shorts and socks at Watford to aid differentiation but for the game at the Vitality Stadium the Hornets were allowed to wear their first-choice kit
- Once again, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson wore his pink and blue kit against a side in claret and blue
And, as usual, Matt Smith has the updated Away Kits Table:
West Ham 3
Arsenal 3
Burnley 3
Brighton 3
Southampton 0
Norwich 3
Newcastle 1
Liverpool 3
Watford 1
Manchester City 3
The amount of black on Watford’s shirt may have been an issue, but it can be overlooked as the yellow is so vibrant and on the entirety of the back. However, the shorts could have been changed if they had some red alternatives. But we’ve been here before.
Southampton will feel justified in ignoring their usual colours worn when they’d shipped nine against Leicester at St Mary’s, it’s still not acceptable.
Remember when Newcastle had alternative white shorts and socks to wear with their home shirt? They’re now of the opinion only 50% of this arrangement is required.
Scores of 3/1or 0 points missing for this week 22?
Sorry David, my fault, they’ve been added to the table though! Will sort out when I’m back on the laptop later
Why do you guys like it when both keepers wear the same colour?
Hi Charlie, just because the apparent need for keepers not to clash only came in a decade or so ago – even though I’m not aware of a single instance of it causing confusion before then!
And am I the only one that gets frustrated when the ref and keepers clash?
Think a ref-keeper clash is far bigger problem as a TV viewer then a keeper 2 keeper clash but I can understand at the pro level when there are multiple kits just laying around why they try and avoid them and get some 2nd and 3rd kits some game time!
Yeah, keeper/ref definitely more potential for confusion but it routinely happens in about half of the PL games each weekend, even when it could be avoided.
