Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has admitted that he worries about his former side's emotional state as they battle it out with Manchester City for the Premier League title.
The Gunners have drawn each of their last two matches 2-2 despite leading by two goals early on in both, allowing second-placed City to close the bridge at the top of the league standings. Pep Guardiola's side are now just four points behind the north Londoners whilst having played one less league match this term.
Mikel Arteta and co take on Southampton on Friday night before travelling to Manchester on Wednesday to take on the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium, a ground they haven't won at since back in January 2015. Now, Henry has spoken about his concerns regarding Arsenal's emotions before admitting that his former side are still on control of their own destiny.

Speaking to CBS Sports, the Frenchman said: "I don't know when it was that we last won against City, so that's going to be a tough one. The last game didn't reassure me when we played them at home. From the Arsenal point of view, since the beginning of the season, I have been talking about emotions.
"You don't win a title on emotions - you win cups - because its one game, then one game. 38 games - you can't be too emotional about it, but you've seen recently how emotional we've been. So far, we were not expected to be there.
"You still have hope, we're still ahead, Man City still have to win games to get ahead of us. It is still there in front of you, but get rid of the emotional part of the game."
He then continued by saying: "When you watch City - this is where Arsenal need to get to - they look composed whatever the result is. I just think when I look at Arsenal, sometimes you lose control of the game. We're still ahead, but yes City can catch us."
