The Christmas fixtures continue with Matchweek 18 being completed over the four days before Christmas, however due to the Manchester City’s participation (and victory) in the World Club Championship, their fixture with Brentford was postponed and will take place later in the season.
As always you can find last week Matchweek’s review – here
The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below, we now have all 60 shirts released… still waiting for confirmation of the shorts that will be used with Luton Town’s 3rd.
Matchweek 18 Fixtures
Total Kits Used
- Kits Worn in Total – 84 (+3 from Matchweek 17)
- Goalkeeper Kits – 55 (No change from Matchweek 17)
New Kits this Matchweek
Brighton & Hove Albion wore alternative white shorts and socks with their away shirt when they visited rivals Crystal Palace on 21st December, this is the 3rd different look used by The Seagulls with their Away shirt (Black shorts / socks and White shorts / Black socks).
There were also two completely unseen kits used in this matchweek, with Everton using their Away Kit for the first time at Tottenham Hotspur.
And Chelsea also used their Away Kit for the first time this season on their Christmas Eve (!!!) visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Kit Highlights
Aston Villa dropped points in their default home kit for the first time this season, having won the previous eight games in home shirt with white shorts and sky blue socks.
Manchester United used their black goalkeeper kit template for only the second time this season and the first since the opening matchweek / game.
Due the postponement of the Manchester City v Brentford game, meant that the nine away teams in this matchweek all used change kits
My favourite Kit Match Up of this week was Tottenham Hotspur against Everton, there is some classy about Spurs in all white that really works for me, matched up with a wonderful Everton Kit being used for the first time just looks great!
