Arsenal great Thierry Henry says Mikel Arteta's players are showing too much emotion in the title run-n.

The Gunners are currently four points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City at the top of the table, having played a game more.

Henry said: “The last game didn't reassure me. From Arsenal's point of view, since the beginning of the season, I have been saying you don't win a title on emotions.

“You can win a cup, the Champions League, maybe even the World Cup. But across 38 games you can't be too emotional about it, and recently we've been too emotional.

“You can feel the emotion coming, but don't be emotional. There's a difference. Stay calm."

Henry also said on CBS: “We are still ahead of Man City, but I am saying they need to get rid of the emotional part of the game and concentrate on what they have to do.

“We are still ahead. City still have to win their games and beat us. It's still there in front of Arsenal.

“But for me, get rid of the emotional part of the game. When you watch City, they look composed whatever the result.

“I know we are talking about the creme de la creme, but when you look at Arsenal, sometimes they lose control of the game.

“The point is, we are still ahead. So if I was in that dressing room I'd be saying it's right there, just go and grab it."
