Arsenal were superb on Monday night when they hit Sheffield United for six and sent a message to title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.

But with a string of tough fixtures in the coming weeks and months Mikel Arteta‘s side are set to have their title credentials tested for a second season running.

Sitting just two points off league leaders Liverpool and one behind second placed City, Arsenal will need to be almost perfect if they want to be lifting the Premier League trophy come May.

And Henry has singled out six games that the North Londoners need to be prepared for as their biggest tests in their remaining 11 league fixtures this season.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “For me when I look at it, this one will be a difficult one [Chelsea at home] because Chelsea play ever so well against teams that are on the ball, especially when they are away from home.

“Having said that, looking at that, how Manchester City is going to go, who knows?

“Brighton away, Wolverhampton, I won’t name that team [Tottenham], we all know that they are going to make sure that we don’t win it and that [Manchester] United game away is going to be tricky.”

Henry named Chelsea’s visit to Emirates Stadium and away trips to face Brighton, Wolves, Man City, Man Utd and Tottenham as the games that could cause Arsenal problems.

And the Gunners’ record goal-scorer also highlighted the difficulty of having to balance Champions League fixtures with mounting a title charge as something that could derail Arsenal’s title challenge.

He said: “If you add to that, if we go deep in the Champions League, you have to add those games in that.

“Can you deal with that? I know Manchester City and Liverpool are equipped to deal with all of that.”

Arsenal welcome Porto to the Emirates Stadium for their Last 16 second leg next Tuesday with Arteta’s outfit having to overturn a one goal deficit following their 1-0 defeat in Portugal.
