It’s the first North London derby ever played outside the United Kingdom and it comes at a critical juncture for both teams. It seems as though the gap between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is as wide as it has been in a generation. Arsenal ended the last season as runners-up, while Tottenham grappled with a rollercoaster campaign, securing the Europa League but barely avoiding relegation.
What to expect from the match:
- Date: Thursday, July 31 | Time: 7:30 a.m. ET
- Location: Kai Tak Sports Park – Hong Kong
- Live stream: CBS Sports Golazo Network or Paramount+
- Odds: Arsenal -182; Draw +320; Tottenham +380
Arsenal’s Expectations
Despite injuries last season, Arsenal aims to secure a Premier League title or Champions League spot despite the challenges presented by rivals like Liverpool and Manchester City.
Tottenham’s Journey
With a new coach, Tottenham hopes to overcome their defensive shortcomings and build on their Europa League success, but their current odds look grim for a top-five finish.
