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.

Tottenham could have James Maddison and Dominic Solanke back for their pre-season clash with Arsenal in Hong Kong. Spurs have flown out for the start of their tour, which will also take them to South Korea for a fixture against Newcastle in Seoul on Sunday.

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.
