Thierry Henry Makes Prediction About Man City That Will Send Shivers Down The Spines Of Arsenal Fans

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says Manchester City “look like” a team capable of going “on a run” of wins.

Pep Guardiola’s side has had a habit in previous seasons of racking up successive victories, and Henry fears this current iteration has it in them to do exactly the same thing:

“If you’re an Arsenal fan, that’s exactly the team that you don’t want on your shoulder, because they know how to win. It’s not great as an Arsenal man to see them coming back to their level. They look like a team about to go on a run.”

“I think Pep had to deal with having two new assistants and a new way of playing. What you were hoping for while City made that adjustment is that Arsenal could go ahead and take some points, and that’s exactly what happened. But it was always going to be a battle.”

Man City need to prove Henry right

The 3-0 win over Liverpool does demonstrate Guardiola’s men are capable of securing big results, but the most league wins they have managed this season is just 3 in a row.

For that reason, it is a massive match against Newcastle this weekend. Momentum is key, and if they come away with all three points from St James’ Park, they would be breathing down Arsenal’s necks.

Arsenal have bottled bigger leads

While the Gunners currently have a four-point advantage over the Cityzens, it should not be forgotten that they were eight points ahead at a much later stage during the 2022/23 season.

Of course, every campaign is different, and Mikel Arteta’s men may have learned from that experience, but City’s players know they are very much still in with a chance of winning the Premier League IF they can put a run of results together.
