The annual Emirates Cup sees Arsenal warm up for the new season with this summer tournament featuring Rangers, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid. Held at Arsenal's new 60,000 capacity ground at Ashburton Grove just two weeks before the start of the new Premiership season, this two-day, four-match competition is a good way for fans to check out their team's new signings. In Arsenal's case, it should see a competitive debut for ?10m defender Thomas Vermaelen - although most Gooners will hope the Belgian international will be joined by some bigger names before the end of the summer break. The good thing about the Emirates Cup is that points are awarded for goals scored as well as wins and draws - exactly the kind of system Arsene Wenger would like to see in major leagues across the world if he had his own way. What's more, one ticket lets you see both games on the day - great value for money.Day 1 (Saturday):
Rangers v PSG (2pm)
Arsenal v Atletico (4.15pm)
Day 2 (Sunday):
Atletico v PSG (2pm)
Arsenal v Rangers (4.15pm)
About Emirates Stadium: Arsenal FC
After a century at nearby Highbury, Arsenal FC moved to the state-of-the-art Emirates Stadium in 2006. The 60,365-capacity stadium - originally called Ashburton Grove before a 15-year sponsorship agreement was signed between the club and the Emirates airline - is a suitably slick home for London's best-supported (and historically most successful) football team.
