Unai Emery is relishing the challenge of beginning his Arsenal tenure against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side visit the Emirates Stadium on Sunday<\/a> in what will be Emery\u2019s first game as Arsenal\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tEmery is excited for the big clash on Sunday\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 46-year-old replaced Arsene Wenger in May and, with a trip to Chelsea six days later, Emery could not have wished for a more difficult start to life in England.<\/p>\n

But he is ready for the challenge \u2013 even if he is aware of the threat posed by last season\u2019s runaway champions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to start well, we want to play and we want to show our quality, our work in this month tactically and with our spirit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to show and to be together with the supporters and to start a new way, a new process. With the same players and also our new players with us, and with a new culture and new staff.\u201d<\/p>\n
