Thierry Henry has told Mikel Arteta that \u201ceverything\u201d must be different for Arsenal to beat Manchester City and insists Declan Rice\u2019s \u201cface\u201d after the draw with Sporting tells the story.<\/p>\n
The Gunners saw out a goalless draw at the Emirates to confirm their place in the Champions League semi-finals, where they will meet Atletico Madrid, after Kai Havertz\u2019s late goal in the first leg secured a 1-0 aggregate win.<\/p>\n
It was the latest unconvincing performance from Arteta\u2019s side in a long list of them on the back of Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City<\/strong>the FA Cup exit at the hands of Southampton and the Premier League loss to Bournemouth on Saturday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: No fire, pure fear as Arsenal scrape into Champions League semi-final with fraught 0-0 draw<\/strong><\/p>\n Not the best preparation for their trip to the Etihad to play Manchester City in what many believe will be the title decider on Sunday.<\/p>\n If City triumph over Arsenal and win their game in hand they will be level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.<\/p>\n Asked what he wants to see from his former side in the crunch clash, Arteta referred to Arteta\u2019s unhinged press conference ahead of the Sporting game, in which he demanded \u201cfire\u201d from his players.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to see that fire at the Etihad,\u201d Henry told CBS Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I want to see, it\u2019s easy to talk, go there, at Man City, and deliver.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe in what I see though, I believe in him Arteta, \u2018the fire\u2019, but when you talk like that you have to do it then. I didn\u2019t see that tonight.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are through, so happy, semi-final, I never won it, but I won the league though, go and win at Man City, I want to see that fire there, I believe Mikel, yes, but show it.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked how he would approach the game against City, Henry replied: \u201cNot like tonight, or against Bournemouth, or Brighton away, or Mansfield, or everything that I\u2019ve seen this season.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if the performance against Sporting would be enough to beat City, Henry laughed and replied: \u201cThe Man City I\u2019ve seen recently? We\u2019re talking about the team that won four in a row, Liverpool came in between that if not it would have been more.<\/p>\n \u201cI do believe, I\u2019ve been saying since the beginning of the season, this year I do believe we can win the league, this is the biggest chance in your life just to prove to yourself, as a team, that we can.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then people will not talk about the word they want to use that I do not want to use.<\/p>\n \u201cI do believe personally but I am sitting in a chair for CBS, there\u2019s nothing I can do. Now I heard \u2018fire\u2019, I want to see that fire at the Etihad.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you have the face of Declan Rice go back to that, at the end of the game I stayed with his face, you had a lot of guys smiling but his face\u2026 I don\u2019t know, maybe I need to speak to him to know what he had in his head. This is a guy who just went through to the semi-final of the Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no positive or negative here. We are in a semi-final of a Champions League, well done, that didn\u2019t happen a lot in history so obviously I\u2019m over the moon. But City\u2026 I want the team to win there, not draw, statement.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Zidane the Arteta \u2018fire\u2019-fighter to save Arsenal from nervous breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
