Thierry Henry makes ‘outstanding’ Arsenal title race prediction amid Liverpool and Man City fight.
Arsenal are battling with Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title. Former Gunners forward Thierry Henry has made a prediction regarding the Gunners
Thierry Henry believes it could be an exciting end of the season for Arsenal. The Gunners face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Monday night, with Mikel Arteta’s side currently third in the Premier League table.
A win for Arsenal will see them go one point behind Manchester City in second and two points behind Liverpool in first. With the north Londoners still in the Champions League, Henry expects his former side to challenge in both competitions.
Henry sees a different Arsenal side
Speaking on Sky Sports‘ Monday Night Football, Henry said when asked if it could be an exciting end of the season: “Yes, especially with the way they have been playing since the beginning of the year. The way we put pressure, the way we don’t concede and the way we defend as a team.
“People were talking about us needing a striker, I was very loud on that we needed to put the ball in the back of the net, but you kind of doubted a tiny bit as an Arsenal fan because of what happened because the two teams they are chasing have been there and done it. The way we are playing right now is outstanding.”
Arsenal have been in incredible form in 2024, winning their last six Premier League games, scoring 25 goals in the process. On the Gunners’ last six results, Henry said: “I just think the story at point was we all know the set-pieces kept them in the title race at the beginning and not conceding, we all know that and the front three were not scoring enough goals, but we were creating chances.
“Now, we are scoring them. I think we were there or thereabouts, the FA Cup game against Liverpool and the Villa game when we lost 1-0, we had chances but we didn’t put the ball in the back of the net.
In some of those games we scored some crackers to win them, okay you can see the six goals and then the five goals, but we are right now, exactly where we want to be, which is a well balanced team.”
