Thierry Henry Backs Arteta as Arsenal Hold Seven-Point Premier League Lead

He urges patience with Mikel Arteta, noting perceptions are shaped by Arsenal’s long wait for a league title.

Overview

  • Arsenal remain top with a seven-point cushion and 16 matches to play after a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
  • Results elsewhere helped preserve the advantage, with Manchester City and Aston Villa dropping points over the same weekend.
  • Henry told Sky Sports the position is a “massive advantage,” even if the lead could have been larger.
  • He praised the club for keeping faith in Arteta, saying the manager is delivering on the brief to stay above Liverpool and City.
  • He acknowledged scrutiny over chance creation and set-pieces but framed the approach as acceptable given the current standings.
