On Thursday in Hong Kong, Arsenal and Tottenham will play the first north London derby outside of the UK.

It is also Spurs boss Thomas Frank's first time managing Tottenham against their rivals. And, despite it being Arsenal, Frank is looking forward to the match.

"I think it's a great challenge even besides being our biggest rivals and the first north London derby outside the UK," he explained.

"It's also right now [against] one of the best teams I must say unfortunately in the world. We need to be honest.

"In that way it's going to be a big test. But it's more than a test, as against Arsenal it's not only a friendly. Of course, it's a game we will do everything we can to win."
