Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur meet in a pre-season North London derby on Thursday.
The capital rivals collide at the Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, as both step up their preparations for the Premier League campaign.
Arsenal have a 100% record in pre-season with three wins from three games, including a 3-2 win over Newcastle United during their tour of the Far East.
Spurs are starting life under new manager Thomas Frank, who has arrived from Brentford as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement.
Viktor Gyokeres could make his first appearance for Arsenal with the forward presented to the fans ahead of the win over Newcastle.
The Swedish striker has completed his long-awaited transfer from Sporting Lisbon and has trained with Mikel Arteta’s squad this week. Fellow recruit Cristhian Mosquera is also in line to feature.
Elsewhere, Max Dowman has taken plenty of headlines on tour. The 15-year-old’s impressive cameo against Newcastle has increased the excitement around the teenager. The Hale End graduate will be hoping for more minutes against Spurs.
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
New striker Viktor Gyokeres is in line to feature for Mikel Arteta’s side after completing a move worth an initial €63.5million (£54.8m; $74.2m) move from Sporting CP on Saturday.
Meanwhile Europa League winners Tottenham are beginning a new era under recently appointed head coach Thomas Frank.
Mikel Arteta said “it is possible” that new signing Viktor Gyokeres will feature in today’s friendly in Hong Kong.
Arsenal held an open training session at the Kai Tak Stadium on Wednesday in which the new signing took an active part. Around 20,000 fans attended the hour-long session to see the 27-year-old Swede in action and, speaking yesterday, Arteta hinted he could yet have an involvement against Spurs.
“He’s only done today’s session and yesterday — very little. We’re going to assess tonight how he is, and if the medical staff are happy as well with his condition to participate in tomorrow’s match, then it’s a possibility. We’re going to discuss that tonight.”
