A historic moment in Hong Kong with the first north London derby taking place outside the UK

Arsenal vs Tottenham LIVE

This afternoon in Hong Kong, history will be created as Arsenal and Tottenham clash in the inaugural north London derby held beyond the UK borders. Located less than four miles apart, the two rivals have journeyed nearly 6,000 miles to compete at the Kai Tak Sports Park today. While this match may lack the usual intensity of a derby, both teams are eager to claim early bragging rights.

Arsenal’s new £64m striker, Viktor Gyokeres, is anticipated to make his debut, although he starts on the bench. Mikel Arteta will also be without Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori. Young talent Max Dowman hopes to see more playing time after impressing off the bench against Newcastle. Meanwhile, Spurs are optimistic that both Dominic Solanke and Rodrigo Bentancur will participate after overcoming fitness issues, and James Maddison is also in the running to play.

The Gunners aim for their fourth consecutive pre-season victory, while Spurs were last seen struggling to a 0-0 draw against Luton Town.

KICK-OFF!

The match has begun in Hong Kong, and Odegaard nearly scores right from the start with a curling shot that hits the post.

The weather conditions in Hong Kong this afternoon are not ideal.

Rain is anticipated throughout the match, with winds gusting at 23km/h and a warm temperature of 29°.

Fortunately, the roof at the Kai Tak Stadium appears to be closed, so weather should not be a concern.

Here’s a reminder of the starting line-ups ahead of kick-off:

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Sarr; Kudus, Bergvall, Odobert; Richarlison
