Swansea boss Rodgers excited facing Arsenal legend Henry

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to face Arsenal legend Thierry Henry tomorrow.

While Rodgers acknowledges that the 34-year-old may not be the player he was during his first stint with the Gunners, he is wary of the psychological boost the Frenchman's presence has given to Arsenal.

He said: "Henry is arguably one of the top three players ever to grace the Barclays.

Premier League so for a player of that status to come back will benefit the club.

"I was at the game the other night and I thought I was at a rock concert, they were singing his name and when he came on it was like a Take That concert as all the lights went off.

"He got his goal and it was wonderful and we understand any moment he is on the field he is a danger, and the hype he will get."
