Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has insisted that English Premier League  (EPL) champions, Manchester City remains the favourites to lift the league trophy this season, despite his former side’s potency in front of goal.

Henry made this known recently while resisting the urge to name Arsenal as Premier League title favourites despite their 6-0 win over Sheffield United on Monday.

The win means the Gunners still maintain the third position on the Premier League log table, with two points behind leaders Liverpool and a point behind second position Manchester City after 27 matches.

It also means the Gunners have now won 7 straight games, scoring 31 goals and conceding only three in the process.

Taking to talkSPORT on the chances of the two teams, Henry said: “We all know where my heart will go, I want Arsenal to win the league..

“But I still see City as the team to beat.”

Arsenal after annihilating Sheffield United on Monday night, will now face Brentford in their next game on Saturday.

A win against their local rivals, Brentford, could see them leapfrog Liverpool and Manchester City into the first place, if they play out a draw in their next league fixture on Sunday.
