Arsenal go head to head with Tottenham in a tasty pre-season friendly at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong on Thursday at 1.30pm (UK time).
Viktor Gyokeres to score first (3/1 with Bet365)
The Sweden striker has completed his big-money move from Sporting to bolster Arsenal’s attacking threat as they look to finally make that extra step and get their hands on the Premier League trophy. Having been paraded ahead of the win over Newcastle, he could make his bow here, and will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet against a Tottenham side not brimming with confidence.
Arsenal to win and both teams to score (7/4 with Bet365)
Arsenal have opened pre-season with back-to-back victories, while Tottenham are also yet to taste defeat thus far. Although, the Gunners arguably have the stronger momentum after seeing off AC Milan and Newcastle United, so that could just get them over the line again here.

How both teams go into Arsenal vs Tottenham
Arsenal are quickly into their stride during pre-season, following back-to-back victories in Singapore.
After Bukayo Saka’s strike settled their opener against Milan, the Gunners came from behind to edge out fellow Premier League side Newcastle 3-2.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are unbeaten under Thomas Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer.
Spurs opened with a 2-0 win over Reading, before they were held to 2-2 and 0-0 draws by Wycombe Wanderers and Luton Town respectively.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta will likely rotate his side from the win over Newcastle, with new signing Viktor Gyokeres potentially making his debut. Max Dowman may also be given an opportunity after the 15-year-old’s impressive cameo from the bench last time out.
Tottenham team news
Frank named pretty much his strongest available starting XI against Luton, so is unlikely to make too many alterations. The most probable change could be in goal by replacing Guglielmo Vicario with Antonin Kinsky.
Arsenal vs Tottenham head-to-head
Arsenal are unbeaten in each of their last six meetings with Tottenham stretching back to a 3-0 defeat in May 2022. The Gunners have enjoyed five victories during that span.
