Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has heaped praise on his ex-boss Arsene Wenger, and believes that the current Gunners squad can win the Premier League.

Henry, who helped Arsenal avoid defeat in the league in the 2004-05 'Invincible' season, wants critics of the French manager to remember Wenger for the style of play he brought to the club.

"When you give people a lot they get used to it and they just expect and demand and rightly so because when you're at a club like Arsenal people expect and want you to win and that's the way it is," Henry told BBC Sport.

"For me it's a no-brainer, the guy has changed Arsenal Football Club. Was Arsenal successful before? Yes they were, but in a different way. Now Arsenal is recognised for the type of football they play and that's all down to him.

"I do think they have a squad to win the league but they are nine points behind Chelsea. Somehow you have to make sure you can grab somewhere those points hoping that Chelsea is going to lose somewhere."

Henry currently plays for MLS side the New York Red Bulls.
