Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has warned his former club to not forget about the Premier League as the end of the current season approaches.

The Gunners face a difficult Europa League semi-final tie against Spanish club Atletico Madrid and this is their only chance of finishing this season with silverware.

Arsene Wenger's side have been underwhelming in terms of their league form this season and they were defeated by Newcastle United on Sunday.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Henry said: "I said two weeks ago, Burnley are only two points behind Arsenal and people were like, 'Come on, relax'.

"No, I can't relax because they are really two points behind Arsenal.

"It is kind of a weird one because you want to put all our focus on the Europa League and it was great to see Joe Willock today and Reiss Nelson the other week – you want to see youngsters.

"But at the minute, you can't really play on 'we can rotate and have it easy in the league' while thinking about the Europa League.

"If they go out to Atletico Madrid, suddenly you're fighting with Burnley – what an amazing job that Sean Dyche has done by the way – and you're out of everything.

"I don't think that will happen – maybe it's my Arsenal side coming out – but [Wenger] rested some good players today and ended up losing the game.

"You need to think carefully about how you are going to play those last few games."
