Arsenal legend Thierry Henry insists 'a lot of things need to change' if his former team are going to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry does not believe his former team can win the Premier League this season without significant changes. The Gunners have not been champions of England since 2003-04 when Henry and his fellow Invincibles went through the entire league campaign without losing.
But Arsenal have already lost two of their opening 16 Premier League games this season and have drawn a further six, including Saturday's 0-0 stalemate at home to Everton. That result left Mikel Arteta's side third in the table - six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have played one game fewer.
Speaking on Sky Sports on Monday Night Football, Henry suggested that Arsenal are far too predictable compared to Liverpool. The Frenchman also claimed that players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli need to improve their decision-making during games and that the Gunners must start scoring more from open play.
Arsenal icon Thierry Henry was a guest pundit on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football this week. Henry pictured analysing Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Fulham using a giant screen in the studio. Ex-Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher was also critical of Arsenal on Monday night as he said: 'When you're watching them they're not passing the eye test in terms of looking creative.
'You see that belief from Liverpool and you're struggling when you're watching Arsenal.'. Henry continued the conversation by replying: 'They're very predictable. It is outstanding to score from set-pieces. The last three goals in the league are from set-pieces.
