- Arsenal face Spurs in pre-season game
- Rivals face off in Hong Kong
- Emirates Stadium to screen clash
Arsenal take on Tottenham on July 31 as part of their pre-season campaign, and now the Gunners have decided to hold a screening of the match on Club Level at their home ground. However, it appears to be only open to Arsenal fans, rather than Spurs ones, which is likely to be a wise move.
A post on the club’s website reads: “If you’re looking for the perfect place to watch our pre-season friendly against Tottenham in Hong Kong, then why not head to Emirates Stadium to witness the thrills and spills with a host of fellow Gooners? We are holding a screening of the match on Club Level at Emirates Stadium on Thursday, 31 July, with doors opening at 10:30am and kick-off at 12:30pm (UK Time). Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Red members can purchase tickets for just £5 for adults and £2.50 for concessions. Food and drink will be available to purchase, as well as official merchandise, plus the entertainment continues with a live band roaming around to help build the atmosphere.”
Arsenal will have been left smarting after seeing their trophy drought extend to five years this summer, plus, rivals Tottenham won the Europa League to end their 17-year wait for silverware. Both teams will look to start the season with a bang but before then, this match will provide bragging rights for a short time.
Arsenal and Tottenham will contest the first north London derby outside of the متحد Kingdom when they lock horns in Hong Kong later this month. In the days prior to this encounter, the Gunners also take on AC Milan and Newcastle United.
