Thierry Henry believes that Arsenal is still uncertain about finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League this season, although the London team is leading the rankings with a safe distance.
Henry thinks Arsenal are unlikely to finish in the top 4
Arsenal lost 1-3 to Man City in an important match for the top of the rankings. But Arteta's teachers and students came back to win Aston Villa to return to the top. They were also supported when Nottingham Forest held Man City to draw. Thus, Arsenal is temporarily 2 points ahead of Man City while still having 1 match in hand.

Henry: Arsenal still not sure to finish in the top 4
Arsenal also has a gap of up to 13 points compared to the 5th ranked team, Newcastle. It is almost certain that Arsenal will finish in the Champions League group this season. But Thierry Henry still advised Arteta's teachers and students to be vigilant.
“We are not there yet. I know people will say that I worry. But only when we officially finish in the top 4 will I talk about it."
However, Henry also praised Arteta for connecting the fan community and bringing the fighting spirit back to the team.
“You can see a bit of a disconnect between the club and the fans. All the fans want is to be involved with the team, and a team that can compete. They didn't boo the team on Thursday, defeat still happens and the fans understand that.
Fans only boo when they don't see their team fighting, when they don't see themselves on a team that represents the community. Edu, the board, Mikel Arteta, whoever it was, brought that back.
Will we win? I do not know. But this is the Arsenal I know. After all, you can't fool the fans. They are there and they have that attitude because they see something. That's also the reason why they are so noisy in matches. It's a different feeling."
