Henry rates Arsenal's UCL chances

Despite Arsenal's hot start to the Champions League campaign, Henry does not fancy them winning the competition this season.

According to the Gunners legend, a congested fixture schedule this season could hinder their chances of conquering Europe.

"As a fan, I want them to win it. As a fan, I wish we could win it," Henry said via Metro UK. But the depth, playing the league, playing all the competitions that you have to play in England… it might be too much."

Arsenal are in Group B of the tournament alongside PSV, Lens, and Sevilla.
