Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has stated that if the team is still in the top four by January, they can be considered title contenders.
Mikel Arteta’s men currently lead the table with 21 points after eight games.
When asked if he thinks Arsenal will return, Henry told CBS Sports:
“What is it – eight games in the league? Back to competing, I would say.
“What is nice to see is a team that can compete.
“Competing and for me, I always say it’s not because it’s Arsenal or any different team, when you pass Boxing Day and Christmas, it’s going to be different because you have the World Cup, but when you pass January and you’re still up there, competing for the title, then you’re a title contender.”
