Thierry Henry: This Is The Reason Arsenal Will Win The Premier League Title

ARSENAL legend Thierry Henry strongly believes Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil will fire the Gunners to Premier League glory this season.

Arsene Wenger's side face Stoke later today and will go back to the top of the table if they come away from the Britannia with a point.

Henry believes the fact Arsenal now have a plan B will mean they go on to win their first title since 2004.

He told The Sun: "Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil are finally showing the consistency to match their unquestionable ability.

"Now they can lead Arsenal to the title because the team has learned how to win the big games even when they don’t dominate possession.

"In the past Arsenal have always been accused of having only one way to play — passing their way through opponents and walking the ball in.

"But this season they have developed a Plan B which is proving so successful in matches that really matter that it has almost become their go-to system."

Henry highlighted wins against Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Manchester City as being key to the Gunners gaining confidence this season.

He added: "Not so long ago Arsenal would start every attack patiently building out from the back. The full-backs would split wide to take a throw from the keeper and they would work the ball patiently up the pitch.

"Now Petr Cech is not afraid to launch a quick counter-attack by kicking long to Giroud.

"It proved particularly successful in the crucial wins against Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Olympiakos and Manchester City.

"In virtually all of those games, Arsenal did not enjoy the majority of the possession. Yet they still won."
