Tottenham will wear their dark green away kit for next month's Carabao Cup Final against Manchester City.

With the traditional white-and-blue home colours deemed to clash with City's sky blue attire, a coin toss decider who would change up and Spurs lost.

A club statement read: "We can confirm that we shall play this season’s Carabao Cup Final in our away kit due to a colour clash with opponents Manchester City.

"With our home Lilywhite and blue kit deemed to conflict with our opponents’ sky blue and white strip, we are required to wear alternative colours for the match, as determined by the traditional toss of a coin.

"This will not be the first time we have worn our away kit in a Wembley Final – back in 1982 we memorably wore our change colours in our FA Cup Final success over Queens Park Rangers, while we also had to use our alternative strip in the away leg of our 1984 UEFA Cup Final victory over Anderlecht.

"This season’s dark green away kit has already featured successfully in our run to the Carabao Cup Final, having been used for our hard-earned 3-1 win at Stoke City in the quarter-finals in December."

Spurs and City head into the April 25 showpiece at Wembley having already faced each other twice this season, both teams winning their home league games.
