Arsenal will face Galatasaray in the final match of the 2013 Emirates Cup on Sunday. 
The 2012-13 Super Lig champions Galatasaray football club got a goal from Felipe Melo to take out Porto in their first match of the Emirates Cup, while the Premier League club Arsenal football club overcame steep odds to earn a 2-2 draw with Napoli by scoring twice in the final 18 minutes. 

Arsenal football manager Arsene Wenger knows that the Galatasaray club will have more than just preseason fitness on their minds when the whistle blows to start the match.

While nothing more than bragging rights are on the line, we're heading into the final phase of preseason competition. Arsenal vs Galatasaray will both have their sights set on winning their league crowns this year, and championship-caliber teams don't give away games. 

 Just as it looked like Napoli were poised to hand Arsenal a demoralizing defeat on their home pitch, the duo scored consecutive goals in the second half to help the Arsenal earn a draw and avoid the ire of their fans. 

The Gunners will try to take that momentum to Sunday's match against Galatasaray.

While most of the focus on Sunday should remain on Emirates Stadium, there's no doubt fans will be keeping their eyes on the latest Arsenal transfer news. 

 Wenger maintained confidence in Arsenal's ability to compete at the highest level of English football with their current collection of players.

The latest chance for them to prove that mantra is against Galatasaray. 

The Turkish club will be making their sixth preseason appearance this summer. The win over Porto broke a two-match winless streak, and Galatasaray will look to keep that momentum going before their first Super Lig match on Aug. 18. 

 With a talented group centered around veteran star Didier Drogba, Wesley Sneijder and Burak Yilmaz, Galatasaray has the talent to make noise both in the Turkish league and in European competition this year. 

Sunday's clash should be an epic conclusion to the fast-paced action that the Emirates Cup 2013 has to offer. Expect both clubs to tighten the screws and work harder at meshing together with only a few days before league action begins.

Arsenal vs Napoli

Change isn’t always for the best; however, it may be just what the doctor ordered for the Serie A runners-up Azzurri. Star striker Edinson Cavani has left town but has been replaced by Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain. Arsenal had their sights set on him to bolster their attack prior to his move to Napoli. The Italian side had the cash to burn and ultimately swayed the 25-year-old Argentinian with a $53 million payday.
The changes don’t stop there, either. Manager Walter Mazzarri is out, and Rafa Benitez has taken the reins. Arsenal is well versed with the former headman of rival Chelsea. The Blues edged them into third place in the Premier League a season ago. Tomorrow, Chelsea vs AC Milan will be played in International Champions Cup.
While it will certainly be a new club on the pitch for Napoli on Saturday, will they be better than what we’ve seen from them in the past? If you want lo watch Arsenal live, you should better get your Arsenal tickets in advance.

The Azzurri have a lot to look forward to this season. They’re going to play some exciting football and pick up some wins along the way. Will that exciting ride start this weekend at the Emirates?
It’s hard to pick against the hosts in this one, so let’s not go in that direction. Manager Arsene Wenger will likely have his team ready to perform well at this big kickoff event. Couple that focus with a surely sold-out Emirates and the cards will truly be stacked against the new-look Napoli side.
Expect a very challenging and tight match for the Gunners, but ultimately a narrow victory will inspire the home crowd heading into their Sunday match against Galatasaray.
