Arsenal legend Henry: Everything can change by beating Tottenham

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says they can get their season back on track with victory in the derby over Tottenham.

Henry, now back with New York Red Bulls, believes three points against Spurs could kick-start his old club's campaign.

"I will be in Arizona for a pre-season camp and for sure I won't be watching it with [New York team-mate] Teemu Tainio because he's a Tottenham fan!" Henry told Arsenal Player.

"For years we have been used to being on top of Tottenham, by a mile, and now it is the opposite. But this is the derby, which you don't want to lose, and we need those three points massively.

"Hopefully it will be the derby that can spark the players, the fans, everybody at Arsenal Football Club. We'll see.

"The league is going to be very difficult but the top four is in Arsenal's hands. They have the squad, there is a long way to go, they have to play Chelsea at home, Tottenham at home, Newcastle at home, Man City at home… it is not impossible."
