New boss Unai Emery looks forward to success in the Far East before facing more familiar opposition in Dublin
ARSENAL'S new boss Unai Emery has Manchester City and Chelsea in store in his opening Premier League fixtures.

An Arsenal XI warms up for tougher dates to come with a traditional summer trip to nearby non-league Boreham Wood on Saturday, July 14 at 3.00pm.
What's in store for the Gunners after this warm-up fixture?
In short, top class opposition.
Emery takes his troops into choppier waters with a dip into the International Champions Cup with showdowns against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Tell me about the International Champions Cup
Eighteen of Europe’s top clubs are taking part at various venues across the United States, Europe and Singapore.
In a departure from previous years most teams will play three matches and only one champion will emerge based on topping the league table.
Formerly teams did not always play the same number of games and a separate champion was crowned in each host country.
The Singapore section is the shortest and features the least number of games with the first match between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid kicking off on July 26, while PSG and Atletico close the section out four days later on July 30.
What exactly is Arsenal's International Champions Cup schedule?
As previously mentioned the Gunners meet Atletico Madrid at the Singapore National Stadium on Thursday, July 26, kicking off at 12.35pm (BST).
Next up come Paris Saint-Germain at the same venue on Saturday, July 28, also at 12.35pm.
Then fans can look forward to a 'London derby' in Dublin as Arsenal face Chelsea in the Aviva Stadium at 8.05pm on Wednesday, August 1.
Do Arsenal have any other pre-season friendlies?
Yes. One more against Sevilla at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, where the action will get underway at 7.00pm.
Are any of these games live on TV or can I live stream them?
The only live facility is which offers live audio.
Alternatively, you can follow all the action on the SunSport live BLOG.
