Arsenal continue their pre-season preparations with a clash against PSG in Singapore on Saturday (12.35pm), and you can follow updates live on Sky Sports' digital platforms.

Arsenal looked impressive in stages as they drew 1-1 with Europa League winners Atletico Madrid on Thursday in the International Champions Cup, before being beaten 3-1 on penalties at the Singapore National Stadium.

Emile Smith Rowe impressed for the Gunners, scoring a stunning equaliser for Unai Emery's side, with the new head coach giving the youngsters a fair run-out in the early stages of pre-season.

Emery is looking forward to a reunion with his former club, but the Spaniard is focused more on intensifying pre-season conditioning ahead of the Premier League campaign.

The 46-year-old opted to leave the French capital at the end of last season after leading the Qatar-backed club to a domestic treble and replaced Arsene Wenger at Arsenal after the Frenchman ended his almost 22-year tenure in North London in May.

"I remain grateful to PSG. I had a good experience there and it was wonderful for my career and now I will play against them tomorrow, against a big club with great players," Emery told reporters at the Singapore National Stadium on Friday.

"Not only is it another step in our preparations for next season but also a chance for me to meet many friends I worked with there."

Meanwhile, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel insists timings meant he was never close to replacing Wenger at Arsenal.

"To be honest I made my decision before Arsene Wenger made his decision," he said at the pre-match press conference. "I never got in touch and I made the decision to move to Paris before Wenger took the decision to resign.

"I don't know if I was ever meant to be his successor or not. I didn't think about it because there was no question in the situation I was."
