Arsenal will take on Tottenham on Thursday, 31 July, in the first North London Derby ever played outside of the United Kingdom.
Although the match is pencilled in as a pre-season friendly, it should be played at a higher intensity than most friendlies due to the rivalry between the two clubs.
The match is Arsenal's final match of their tour of Asia, while it is Tottenham's first.

Player to watch: Viktor Gyokeres
With Viktor Gyekores already in full training with his new teammates, there is every chance that he makes his debut for Arsenal on Thursday in Hong Kong. The Swedish striker scored more than 50 goals for Sporting Lisbon last season, and the club are hoping that even if he manages half of that tally this season, it could be the difference between winning the league and finishing second again.
