Thierry Henry aims dig at Tottenham and makes north London derby claim | Football

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has aimed a dig at Tottenham and has made a claim over the north London derby on November 23.

The Gunners, who sit at the top of the Premier League table, hosts their rivals at Emirates next week following the November international break.

Spurs are hoping to get back to winning ways after losing to Chelsea and a draw with Manchester United in their last two top-flight games.

Thomas Frank’s side are fifth in the top-flight and are set to be boosted by the return of Mohammed Kudus against Arsenal.

Spurs may be without Pape Matar Sarr, though, who picked up a knock on international duty.

Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz are ‘pushing to be fit’ for Arsenal – but Gabriel Magalhaes is unlikely to be available after suffering an injury in Brazil’s game against Senegal.

Henry has claimed that the north London derby will be ‘interesting’ as he told Sky Sports: ‘We (Arsenal) are doing okay – but Spurs haven’t lost away from home yet.

‘So its going to be an interesting one. I will be there.’

Henry couldn’t resist a dig at Arsenal’s rivals after attending the fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the weekend.

Quizzed about being in enemy territory, he told DAZN: ‘Weird. I never came to the new stadium, I used to come to the old one and win a lot, but it’s nice.’

Henry makes Premier League title prediction

Despite the recent 2-2 draw with promoted side Sunderland, Henry believes that Arsenal will clinch their first top-flight title since 2004 this season.

‘As a fan, I’m going to have to go with Arsenal,’ Henry added. ‘I do think we look solid.

‘A bit less against Sunderland the other day, but it’s time for us. Hopefully, it can happen.

‘I think the difference so far [this season] is how solid we have been. Rightly so, you have to mention the guys at the back.

‘It’s the way the team defends. If you don’t defend well as a unit, you are going to be exposed and concede goals.

‘Unfortunately for us, we conceded two [against Sunderland] – it didn’t happen for a while.

‘But everyone believes this can be the year. Hopefully I’m not going to jinx it. I just hope for Mikel [Arteta], for the team, for the fans that we can finally win a title again.’
