Liverpool has made an impressive start in the Premier League, exceeding expectations under their new coach, Arne Slot, following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Many did not anticipate such a strong run, but Liverpool’s steady performance has placed them at the top of the standings, with Arsenal and other teams lagging behind.
Arsenal, currently sitting in fifth place and seven points off the lead, must respond quickly, especially with an upcoming match against Chelsea.
Thierry Henry on Arsenal’s Title Prospects
Football icon Thierry Henry shared his thoughts on CBS Sports regarding Arsenal’s potential in the title race, citing their inconsistent away performance as a key issue.
“The results are not good enough to be at the top,” he remarked, explaining how Arsenal previously managed to cope with lackluster away displays, but this season, those struggles are becoming more apparent. A defeat against Chelsea could make things even more challenging for them.

Jamie Carragher posed a question to Henry, asking if a loss to Chelsea could knock Arsenal out of the title contention if both Liverpool and City win their matches. Henry responded, expressing concern about Arsenal’s position: “I think it will be extremely difficult… because you have too many teams to catch.” He emphasized that he doesn’t foresee two teams faltering this season.
This Premier League season is shaping up to be fiercely competitive, especially with Manchester City facing injury troubles and Liverpool’s surprising form. For Arsenal, the upcoming match against Chelsea could be a pivotal point in their season.
