Arsenal legend Henry: We'll know more about Ljungberg tactics tonight

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry expects tactical changes from caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg tonight.

The Gunners drew 2-2 with Norwich in Ljungberg's first game in charge, although the 42-year-old had limited training sessions with the team ahead of the game.

And Henry believes the Gunners game against Brighton tonight will give fans a better platform to assess Ljungberg's tactical approach.

He said: “Well I think what we've seen so far, it's very difficult to change anything in, I think he had one session, or two maybe.

“It's virtually impossible to change anything. And what we saw is what I've seen before.

“[Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang scored two goals and we escaped – when I say 'we' you know why.

“But that's what I saw, you know, without the goals of Aubameyang I don't know where we would have been right now.

“So it's interesting to see how we are going to play against Brighton, and see what Freddie is about.

“Because that game [against Norwich] was very difficult to see what was happening really."
