Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes that his former club’s chances of winning the Premier League title will be determined by their performance in their last five away games.
Currently sitting in third place, one point behind Manchester City and five behind leaders Liverpool, Arsenal have been in impressive form since their winter break in Dubai.
They have won all five of their league games and scored 21 goals, putting them back in contention for the title.
Henry, who experienced a similar situation with Arsenal last season when they fell short in the title race against Manchester City, emphasized the importance of finishing opportunities.
Despite concerns about the lack of goals from their front three, Henry believes that Arsenal have had plenty of chances to score but have failed to convert them.
He believes that if they can start putting the ball in the back of the net, they will be a formidable team to beat, even without Gabriel Jesus.
However, Henry recognizes that Arsenal’s title hopes will ultimately be decided by their performance in their last five away games.
As they currently sit in third place, they cannot afford to feel comfortable. The Frenchman believes that these upcoming away fixtures will be crucial in determining whether Arsenal can challenge for the title.
While Arsenal’s recent form in the Premier League has been impressive, they were unable to carry that momentum into the Champions League.
They suffered a loss in the first leg of their last-16 tie against Porto, with a late goal condemning them to defeat. However, they will have the opportunity to make amends in the return leg at the Emirates in three weeks’ time.
