Theirry Henry back to Arsenal working towards gaining his coaching badges two days after questioning their mental strength to push for the title.

Less than a day after questioning Arsenal's title credentials, Thierry Henry has been back at his old club to run a training session for the Under 19s. 

The former Gunners striker has been spending months working towards his coaching badges at Arsenal's London Colney training base.

The 38-year-old Sky Sports pundit netted 228 goals in 377 appearances during his two spells for the Gunners and is now building up his experience on the sidelines, while passing on his expertise to the next generation of Arsenal hopefuls.

But after Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, which ended their four-game goalless run, Henry queried whether Wenger's side had the capabilities of overturning the five-point gap opened up by Leicester.

'If I had said to you that Chelsea would struggle, Manchester City would struggle, you would have thought that it would be a season that Arsenal would walk away with it easily,' Henry said. 'And it’s not happening.


'I would question also the mentality of it. The game against Chelsea, they didn’t score. Those are the sort of games you need to win.

'They need three points. It is business. You don’t win the league for a very long time. Can you win it? It’s time to wake up and do it!

‘For me at the moment, Leicester are the team to win it. They’re not only showing they can win it, they’re showing they can cope with the pressure.’

Arsenal face Leicester at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, where defeat by Claudio Ranieri's side would see them open up an eight-point advantage over the Gunners.

But victory, thus closing the gap to two points, would see a swing in momentum back towards the London side.
Leicester face Norwich in the following fixture, while Arsenal take on Manchester United.
