Billed as a friendly, Thursday's pre-season North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong should be anything but.
The Gunners are searching for their fourth win from four summer contests, while Thomas Frank's side are also yet to lose an exhibition game but could only draw with Luton Town and Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend.
Here, Sports Mole provides everything you need to know about how to tune into Thursday's game.
What time does Arsenal vs. Tottenham kick off?
Arsenal vs. Tottenham is an 12.30pm kickoff in the UK, allowing working supporters to catch a glimpse of the action during their lunch breaks.Â
Meanwhile, the game is scheduled to begin at 7.30pm in Hong Kong, which is seven hours ahead.
Where is Arsenal vs. Tottenham being played?
The first-ever North London derby to take place outside of the UK is being played at Kai Tak Sports Park in Kowloon, a multipurpose venue which also hosts rugby matches and music concerts.
The 50,000-seater stadium was only officially opened in March, and Thursday's game will be just the third football match played at the ground, which recently hosted AC Milan's 4-2 win over Liverpool.

What is at stake for Arsenal and Tottenham?
Thursday's game may not mean much from a competitive standpoint, but the bragging rights are always worth fighting for in a North London derby, and Spurs have an added incentive to prevail.
The Europa League winners have not beaten their bitter rivals in a competitive match since the end of the 2021-22 Premier League season, losing their last three in a row to the men in red and white, and the game may also mark a final North London derby for captain Son Heung-min amid links with MLS.
Both teams are also putting their unbeaten pre-season runs on the line, while Arsenal are aiming to prolong their perfect summer record, having seen off AC Milan, Watford and Newcastle United thus far.
