Arsenal and Tottenham resume North London hostilities in Hong Kong today.
Both sides have strengthened over the summer and it will be intriguing to see how the new boys settle in what should be an intense clash for a pre-season game.
Arsenal have been in the Far East for a little while, registering wins over AC Milan and Newcastle.
Spurs flew in following the weekend draws with League One teams Wycombe and Luton.
Arsenal won both games between the sides last season, 2-1 at the Emirates and 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have won just one of the last nine games against Arsenal, in May 2022
