Thierry Henry's prediction

According to Arsenal hero, Henry, the Emirates outfit have no choice but to qualify for the Champions League - and anything short of that will be regarded as a failure.

But speaking on CBS Sports, the ex-footballer exuded confidence his former side have a significant advantage over their rivals eyeing a top-four finish.

"Arsenal had to go and win at Wolves. That was a massive win, so there are still a lot of games to go," Henry said.

"For me, if they don’t do it, as I said at the start of the season, then it will be a failure," he added.

"I think it will be tough for West Ham to get in the top four," the legendary defender noted.

"I think it will go all the way to the end. Arsenal, do they have enough forwards? Spurs look to be in trouble. Right now I’d think you’d take them out of it," he added.
