Thierry Henry expects tight battle for Premier League title

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is confident that Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool will battle Chelsea for the Premier League title this season.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has predicted that Chelsea will face plenty of competition for the Premier League title this season.

Jose Mourinho's side sealed the much-coveted silverware by eight points in May, losing just three games throughout the entire league season.

Despite Chelsea leading the way from start to finish, Henry believes that the 2015-16 campaign will be more fiercely contested.

The Frenchman is confident that Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool will have a say in where the title ends up next May.

"When you think about it, before this year, Chelsea hadn't won the league for four years, and we all know the amount of time that Arsenal did not win the league," Henry told Sky Sports News.

"So Chelsea wins it and we are all like, 'United are going to come back for sure, Manchester City are going to come back for sure and Arsenal are going to come back for sure'. What about Liverpool? You think they are going to stay out?

"Have a look at the competition now to win the league. It is very, very, very difficult, so I expect everyone is going to challenge them, everyone is going to try to make sure they can win the title."

The new season kicks off on August 8.
