Henry Still Has Faith In Arsenal

Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has insisted he still believes former club Arsenal can win this season's Premier League

The Gunners slipped up last weekend, dropping points at home to Liverpool before crashing out of Europe to the Reds on Tuesday night at Anfield.

The gap to Manchester United at the top of the Premiership table is six points, but the Gunners have a chance to change that on Sunday as they travel to Old Trafford.

Arsenal know they're more than capable of getting a result against United, having done a league double over them last season, and Henry stressed that the trauma of midweek would not hamper the side's focus.

“It’s not about the loss at Liverpool affecting them or not," said the Frenchman, who declared himself an Arsenal fan for life despite ditching the Gunners for Barcelona last summer. "The world knows that they need to win at Old Trafford, no more, no less. If there is a team who can beat Manchester United it’s Arsenal.

"Last year Arsenal did the double against them," he recalled. "I didn’t play at Old Trafford but Adebayor had an amazing game and scored. Then I scored the winner at the Emirates. There’s still a possibility of Arsenal winning this title," the former Monaco and Juventus man continued. "There’s five games remaining so 15 points.

"The difference between Man United and Arsenal is six points. You never know what can happen," he exclaimed. "Chelsea and Manchester United are still in the Champions League and it’s never an easy task to combine the two. United’s last game against Middlesbrough showed that if you have a go at them it is possible, even though they had players injured. Rio was injured and Vidic too.”
