As many fans stood just outside or inside the Kerry Hotel in hopes of attracting their favourite players' attention, others walked around the premises and along the harbourfront to get a prime view of the show, which is due to start at 7.30pm.
'It's my first time seeing it, and I'm looking for something a little flashy,' said Ha Byung-jun, a 21-year-old student and Tottenham fan from South Korea.
The drone show will feature dynamic Tottenham-themed animations and images, paying tribute to the club's storied heritage and passionate global supporters, designer OWOWWW Creative (Hong Kong) said.
According to the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's website, the drone show aims to mark the team's very first north London derby game outside the UK against Arsenal, and pay tribute to the club's history.

For some Tottenham fans, the show also provided an opportunity for them to see their favourite team at the hotel, with some even arriving early in the hopes of getting a photo with or an autograph with their favourite players.
Among them was Caleb Shun, a 20-year-old local Tottenham fan, who said he had been outside the hotel with his friends since midmorning to get an autograph and a photo with South Korean Son Heung-Min, the club's captain and forward.
