Thierry Henry believes Manchester City's Premier League title hopes are slipping away. The former Arsenal skipper made the assessment on Monday Night Football after City drew 3-3 at Everton.

City now trail Arsenal by five points. They do have a game in hand, though.

Henry told viewers the advantage has shifted decisively. "Now it's back in Arsenal's hands," he said.

"It's not in Man City's hands anymore."

He'd predicted City would drop points against Everton before kickoff. The match unfolded exactly as he'd feared, according to him.

City's display concerned him deeply. "I saw a bit of nervousness with City because they imploded," Henry noted.

"They brought Everton back into the game with some mistakes. The game became crazy."

Arsenal mustn't get complacent, he warned his audience. "You can't start to think that, 'Now, maybe...'" he added firmly.

"There's no maybe."

His message to the Gunners was straightforward. "Win your games.

Don't look at City. It's in your hands," Henry said.

Arsenal's fate now depends entirely on themselves, he concluded.
