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.
