Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry hopes that his old club do not suffer a league title drought as long as Liverpool 's and is backing them to make sure of that in the near future . Liverpool have not been crowned league champions since 1990 and save for last season 's surprise charge , have sparsely been involved in the title mix for the past few years . Henry told L'Equipe , 'If I had told you in 1990 that Liverpool would not win the title in the next 25 years , you would have taken me for a madman . I do n't want the same thing to happen to Arsenal . ' Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry does not want his old club to suffer a lengthy league title drought . Henry is Arsenal 's all-time leading goalscorer with 228 goals in 376 appearances for the club . Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table with 60 points , seven behind leaders Chelsea who have played one game less . While that gap might prove insurmountable at this late stage of the season , Henry is confident that the current crop of Gunners players could be developed to push for the title soon . He said , 'This year , we 're not so far off . With the exception of the first leg against Monaco , they are on the right track , but they undoubtedly dropped too many points at the start of the season . But I think this squad can win the title in the years to come . ' Following a 2-1 win over Newcastle at St James ' Park , Arsenal are currently third in the league table .

Henry was part of the last Arsenal team to win the Premier League in the 2003-2004 season , when Arsene Wenger 's 'Invincibles ' managed to go the entire campaign undefeated . Having made little secret of his ambition to move into management following the end of his playing career in December last year , Henry has been one of the names touted to replace Wenger in the Arsenal dug-out , and is presently helping to coach the club 's academy players . However , the Frenchman insists that he is happy in his current role for now and just wants to learn the trade before targeting the top job . ' I do n't have the pretension to be able to coach a team nor succeed Arsene Wenger . I just want to learn with the Arsenal youngsters . I just want to be ready if -- one day -- an opportunity presents itself . ' Henry has been widely tipped as a potential successor for his former boss Arsene Wenger ( right )
