Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has stressed that his
former club should not be written off in the race for the
Premier League title.
Thierry Henry is adamant Arsenal remain Premier League title
contenders, but has admitted they might struggle to finish
ahead of Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger's men have already spilled points on three
occasions in their opening six games, losing to West Ham and
Chelsea, while recording a draw against Liverpool.
They consequently sit fifth in the table, trailing leaders City by
five points, but club legend Henry believes they should not be
written off just yet.
"I still think they're going to be challenging," the Frenchman told
Sky Sports.
"I would have been more worried if Manchester City had won
against West Ham, but they didn't. It gives Arsenal a little hope
after the loss against Chelsea.
"Things can happen in this league, as we all know. Nobody
would have thought West Ham would go to Anfield, the Emirates
and the Etihad and win.
"Are Arsenal going to be winning it? I don't know. I think I still
see City being up there at the end of the season."
Arsenal meet Leicester City at the weekend and Henry believes
they have reasons to be confident following their 2-1 League
Cup win over Tottenham on Wednesday.
He added: "They're going to be buzzing, there will be happiness
around the dressing room and the training ground, and that's
always better for them to prepare for the next game.
"They won the derby, and you saw how they played. They
fought well, they had character, it wasn't just flamboyant
Arsenal. And they won at the Lane."
