Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are set to continue preseason preparations on Thursday, when the north London rivals meet outside the UK for the first time in derby history — in a so-called friendly — in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong will have the privilege of hosting the first ever north London derby outside the UK when Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur face each other at the newly-minted Kai Tak Sports Park in Kowloon on Thursday.

News of Morgan Gibbs-White signing a new Nottingham Forest deal only served to dampen Spurs' spirits further, but 10 days away from familiar surroundings may do Frank and co the world of good, as they prepare for three more friendlies in three different countries.
