For the past two seasons, Arsenal has been in the Premier League title race, only to see the trophy slip into the hands of rivals Manchester City. However, a challenging start this season has led club legend Thierry Henry to voice his concerns.

Details: The former Arsenal striker believes that Mikel Arteta’s squad currently isn’t performing at a championship-winning level. Nevertheless, he doesn’t think they’re completely out of contention for the title. To reclaim a place on the podium, though, they’ll need to make significant improvements.

Quote: “Right now, they’re not contenders for the league title, as you can see. The results just aren’t strong enough to be at the top. My issue, and we’ve been talking about it since the second match, is their away form. I don’t think it’s been good enough. For a long time, things were going our way, but not anymore, so we’ll see how they do against Chelsea.

I don’t think they’re out of the race. I think it’s going to be very different this time because they have too many teams to catch up with. I don’t see two teams collapsing; that’s the real issue,” the former French international told CBS Sport Golazo.

Reminder: Recently, another Arsenal icon, Martin Keown, questioned a penalty call made in their last match against Inter.
