Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has made an honest admission about his former club’s chances of winning the English Premier League (EPL) title this season after nearly two decades of wait.
Henry had earlier backed Arsenal, who last won the title in 2004 to lift the EPL trophy this season, but in what appears to be a U-turn, the former Barcelona striker seems jittery the title could just slip away from his former club.
According to the former French international, he is not getting carried away as things can change very quickly in football.

Arsenal who are currently the league leaders are five points clear of second placed Man City on the EPL table with less than twelve matches to go.
However, Thierry Henry, while speaking to CBS Sports on Paramount+, said he cannot predict if the Gunners will win the Premier League until the remaining 12 games have been played.
He said: “38 games, if we are top of the league, then I will celebrate it.
“I don’t get carried away. It can change quickly. Obviously, I want Arsenal to win the league.”
The Gunners will play Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday evening, before traveling to their London rivals, Fulham for a PL fixture on Sunday.
