---------------------------
Arsenal and Tottenham will face off in a tense pre-season North London derby on Thursday at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong. Arsenal comes into the match with a perfect pre-season record, including a recent 3-2 win over Newcastle, while Tottenham is coming off a lackluster draw against Luton Town.
Team Analysis:
Arsenal continued their strong pre-season form with a 3-2 win over Newcastle, highlighted by standout performances from new signing Viktor Gyokeres and 15-year-old Max Dowman. The Gunners remain unbeaten in their summer matches, preparing to end their tour in Asia before hosting Spanish sides at home.
In contrast, Tottenham have had mixed results, drawing both of their recent friendlies despite a promising start under Thomas Frank. As both teams prepare to face off in Hong Kong, Spurs aim to break a losing streak against Arsenal that dates back to 2022.
Player Situation:
Arsenal’s new signings Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera may make their unofficial debuts against Tottenham, with both now training with the squad. Injuries could sideline Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Jurrien Timber.
Spurs, meanwhile, are missing several key players due to injury, including Kulusevski and Udogie, and have left some youngsters behind as they pursue loan moves. Son Heung-min remains part of the tour despite ongoing MLS transfer talks.
Result Prediction:
Arsenal are favored to extend their dominance over Tottenham in the first North London derby held outside the UK, with their squad depth expected to give them an edge despite the unpredictable nature of pre-season friendlies.
Predicted Result: Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur.
