Arsenal face Tottenham in the first ever north London derby outside the United Kingdom on Thursday as they bring an end to their pre-season tour of Asia.
The Gunners have enjoyed a winning start to their preparations for the new campaign, with victories over AC Milan and Newcastle ensuring a 100% record in Singapore. Youngster Max Dowman starred as his side secured a 3-2 win over the Magpies in their last outing.
Gooners won't be too disappointed to hear that Tottenham's pre-season hasn't gone as smoothly so far. A 2-0 win over Reading was followed by a 2-2 draw with League One side Wycombe Wanderers, in which they had to come from behind, and a 0-0 stalemate with Luton Town.
It's the first time the two sides will meet since Thomas Frank took over at Spurs and both will be looking to kickstart the new era with a win.
Here's our preview of Arsenal's pre-season matchup with north London rivals Tottenham.

Arsenal team news
Both Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber could make their returns from injury against Tottenham, but Riccardo Calafiori's availability is uncertain. The Italian was forced off in the win over Newcastle and Mikel Arteta was uncertain of the extent of the damage.
New signing Viktor Gyokeres may be in line to make his Arsenal debut in the north London derby and that is likely to come from the bench. Fellow newcomer Cristhian Mosquera could also be involved after he was uninvolved against Newcastle to allow him time to adapt.
Academy star Max Dowman has made a case for himself to start after two brilliant cameos as a substitute in the Gunners' first two games.
Tottenham team news
Thomas Frank will likely have most of his squad available, including James Maddison, but will still have to deal with some absences.
Dominic Solanke was expected to have recovered from an ankle injury in time to face Arsenal, but he was not present in Tottenham's training session ahead of the game so his involvement is unlikely.
Dejan Kulusevski has been ruled out while Manor Solomon and Destiny Udogie are among those who didn't travel due to pre-existing injury problems.
Arsenal vs Tottenham score prediction
Both Arsenal and Tottenham will be looking to secure a victory in the first ever north London derby in a foreign country so will be raring to go from kick-off.
Despite the Gunners' dominance in the fixture over recent seasons, this could be a tighter game than most would have expected. Frank will be looking to mark his first game against his new side's rivals with a victory and could cause Arteta and his team problems.
However, Arsenal will be the strong favourites coming into the tie. They boast the stronger side and have had a much better start to their pre-season campaign than their arch-rivals. It'll be close, but the Gunners will come out on top.
