Arsenal legend Thierry Henry feels that this season will be the club’s best chance of winning the Premier League for the first time since the Invincible season of 2003/04 after the Gunners cruised to a 3-0 victory over fellow title challengers Manchester United.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the victory, the Frenchman said that Arsenal must win the title.
Arsenal must win the league this year. They must win it. I don’t know if they will get a better chance than this season.
They have to win it this year, they must.
Arsenal fans have previously criticised long-serving manager Arsene Wenger’s methods in competing against teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, but the north London side showed their title credentials against Louis van Gaal’s Red Devils on Sunday.
Two early goals from record signing Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez and a second from the latter saw Arsenal rise to second in the Premier League table – just two points behind current leaders and bookmakers favourites Manchester City.
Arsenal also possess the best league record of 2015, as they lost only three of their last 17 matches of last term. A depleted Chelsea side and Liverpool’s poor efforts thus far have opened up the league for one of its most competitive seasons to date, despite pundits suggesting that the title race has been narrowed down to three teams – the two Manchester clubs and the Gunners.
