‘I don’t see’ – Thierry Henry predicts Arsenal title chances after noticing one ‘issue’ | OneFootball

Arsenal lost their third game in all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign in their fourth Champions League fixture against Inter Milan at San Siro last night, and things are not looking good for them right now.

It is their third defeat in the last six games across all competitions, and the Gunners will be desperate to return to winning ways when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in a Premier League game on Sunday.

Arsenal have lost twice in the league this term, with seven points separating them from leaders Liverpool, and Thierry Henry believes a defeat to the Blues could all but end their chances of winning their first title since 2004 this term.

“Obviously, as you can see, the results are not good enough to be able to be at the top, still a long way to go,” the former Gunners striker replied on CBS Sports when asked if his old club are challenging for the title this season.

“But my issue, and always has been, we talked about it on matchday two [after Arsenal drew with Atalanta], away from home I don’t think it was good enough. But we were getting away with it for a very long time, now we’re not any more.

“It will be extremely difficult [to win the league if they lose to Chelsea]. Why? Because you have too many teams to catch. One team can have a problem, but I don’t see two teams collapsing, that’s my issue.”

Being behind Liverpool and Manchester City after ten games is already a challenge for Arsenal, but they could even find themselves chasing Chelsea if they lose to the Blues on Sunday.

The results and performances have not been good enough recently, and they cannot keep blaming the poor run on injuries.

They were without Declan Rice against Inter, while Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino were taken off during the game due to knocks.

The trio could all be available against Chelsea but Arsenal have to find a way of winning without some of their key players if they are serious about mounting a stronger title challenge this term.
