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 don't want the same thing to happen to Arsenal.'
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.'
