Thierry Henry predicts where Arsenal will finish ahead of Man City clash
Thierry Henry admits that he's expecting to see Arsenal miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League
Thierry Henry admits that Arsenal look likely to miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
The north London side have been struggling to produce consistent form in the top flight all season and they currently find themselves way off the pace in the race for Champions League qualification.
The Gunners are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table and a staggering 10 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, although they do have a game in hand.
Arsenal are preparing to take on Manchester City at The Emirates on Thursday night as they look to get their Premier League campaign back on track.
However, Henry admits that it is now looking highly unlikely that the north London side will be able to finish in the top four this season.
Speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday, Gunners legend Henry said: “Unfortunately, I didn’t want to say that [Arsenal will miss out on the top four] but it looks like it.
“I think if they ever make it into the top four it’d be amazing.
“First and foremost they need to beat Man City on Thursday and then close the gap to Chelsea.”
Arsenal head into Thursday’s game on the back of their disappointing 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
The north London side have not lifted the Premier League trophy since Henry was still playing for the Gunners, back in the 2003-04 campaign after their famous unbeaten season.
