Viktor Gyokeres has been named on the Arsenal bench for today's pre-season friendly against Tottenham in Hong Kong. Last Saturday finally saw the Sweden international complete his move to the Gunners from Sporting CP after so much talk regarding a switch to the capital.
Arsenal's showdown against Spurs is the first ever North London Derby to take place outside of the UK. The game at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong is sold out and both teams have held open training sessions in front of bumper crowds leading up to the fixture.
Arsenal go into the match on the back of two wins from two on their Far East tour. Mikel Arteta's men defeated AC Milan 1-0 in their first game courtesy of Bukayo Saka's winner, before then getting the better of Newcastle United last Sunday with a 3-2 victory.
For their third and final match of the tour, Arteta has switched things about and brought the likes of Jakub Kiwior, Christian Norgaard, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli into his XI. That means David Raya starts in goal as ever, with Ben White, William Saliba, Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly making up the back four.
Norgaard, Odegaard and Declan Rice are Arsenal's midfield three, with Saka, Kai Havertz and Martinelli the front three Arteta has selected. Gyokeres is joined on the bench by fellow new signing Cristhian Mosquera, while Gabriel Magalhaes, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori remain out.
Here is the Arsenal team to take on Tottenham:
Confirmed Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Norgaard, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
