Thierry Henry has advised Arsenal on what they have to do to beat Manchester City to this season's Premier League title.

On both occasions, Metro UK reports, the league leaders squandered a lead early on to settle for a draw.

These recent stalemates have thrown the title race wide open, with only four points now separating the Gunners at the top and City in second place, with a game in hand.

Thierry Henry's advice to Arsenal

Henry, a three-time Premier League winner with Arsenal, has now advised his former side to get rid of their emotions if they are to beat Man City to the title.

According to the Frenchman, there is every need for the Gunners' squad to remain calm in their bid to end their long wait for the EPL title.

"Since the start of the season, I’ve been talking about emotions and how you don’t win league titles with emotion. I’m sorry, but you don’t," Henry told CBS Sport.

The legendary footballer believes that while a cup can be won through emotions, a 38-game season could not.

"You can’t be too emotional and we’ve seen recently Arsenal have been too emotional. There is a difference between passion and emotion. You can feel emotions but don’t become too emotional, that’s the difference. They need to stay calm," he added.

Haaland appears to troll Arsenal

In news related to Arsenal's draw with West Ham, Sports Brief reported on Erling Haaland’s reaction on social media to the match's result.

The Norwegian posted a photo of himself on Twitter moments after the cracker with the caption 'Mood', in what is clearly a dig at the rival team.
