How to watch Tottenham vs Arsenal: Kick-off time, live stream, team news and prediction
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will take their fierce rivalry to unfamiliar territory this week, as the north London derby headlines Spurs’ pre-season tour of Asia. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Arsenal on Thursday.
Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season tour of Asia is set to kick off with a north London derby clash against Arsenal, offering fans a rare taste of the rivalry outside English soil.
This encounter will be the first-ever north London derby played abroad, a historic moment for both clubs, as they square off in front of a global fanbase, thousands of miles away from the traditional backdrop of the Emirates or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs come into this fixture having played three warm-up matches in England, although results have been less than convincing, with only one win in three – a 2-0 victory over Reading – followed by a 2-2 draw with Wycombe Wanderers and a goalless stalemate against Luton Town.
New manager Thomas Frank will now look to ramp up preparations with two matches in Asia before concluding pre-season with a glamour tie against Bayern Munich in Germany.
When and where is the game?
The match will take place at the Kai Tak Sports Park Stadium on Thursday, 31 July 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 PM (UK time).

Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, while Gabriel Martinelli and Jurrien Timber are both recovering from hamstring and ankle injuries, respectively.

Tottenham Hotspur also have their fair share of injury concerns. Bryan Gil is dealing with a knee problem, Dejan Kulusevski is nursing a more serious knee injury, while Destiny Udogie and Manor Solomon are both recovering from muscle and calf issues, respectively. Radu Dragusin, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury, will also play no part in this tour.
Spurs Web prediction for Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur’s record in the north London derby is rather poor and disappointing, and that would be something new boss Thomas Frank would be looking to change.
While it is not a competitive match, getting one over Arsenal would always matter a great deal to Tottenham fans, who would want to see their side show some fighting spirit.
The head-to-head record favours the Gunners, as Arsenal have not lost to Tottenham in their last six meetings, winning five and drawing one in that time. It being a pre-season fixture, we expect a draw in this tie.
