Their London rivals have been inconsistent this season, yet they have turned up big against the top teams. It took a Robert Sanchez error and a late Leandro Trossard goal to secure a 2-2 draw in the first leg at Stamford Bridge. Per The Athletic, the second leg is yet to have a date after it was postponed due to the Blues' involvement in the FA Cup quarter-final.
2. Manchester City
This is the Gunners' biggest game in their remaining fixtures this season. Gabriel Martinelli's late winner won the first leg for Mikel Arteta's team. A 4-1 loss at the Etihad last season was pivotal in their collapse, and they must avoid a repeat of that.
3. Brighton
The Seagulls handed Arteta's men a 3-0 lesson at the Emirates Stadium last year during their title run-in, sending the fans out of the stadium with minutes left to play. Roberto De Zerbi's side are capable of doing damage to any side on their best day.

In the reverse fixture, Erik ten Hag's men were beaten 3-1 thanks to two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus. Per ESPN, the last time the Gunners won at Old Trafford was November 2020; before that time, it was 2006. It's a tricky ground to go and has great potential to capsize their ship.
5. Wolves
It doesn't look very clear why Henry picked this game. The last five games between both sides have ended in a win for the North London side, while Wolves' last win over Arsenal at the Molineux was in 2021. However, it is worth keeping an eye on.
6. Tottenham Hotspur
Per Sun Sport, Henry did not mention their name, but everyone knows they're their North London rivals. Spurs will do everything possible to stop them with a title on the line. Three of their last four trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have ended in defeat.
