Thierry Henry backed Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke to make an impact for Arsenal against Liverpool on Sunday. Arsenal lost to Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, while Liverpool have won their last five games in all competitions.
Henry on Arsenal's squad
Henry told Betway: "This is why you have a strong squad."
He added: "Mikel Arteta knows that some players will be missing, some will get injured, and then others will have their time."
Henry said: "When they have a chance to show what they can do, they need to show it, and Eze and Madueke have been showing it."
Eze and Madueke highlighted
Henry said: "Eze scored against Bayern, Madueke came on and scored against Nottingham Forest, so they are making an impact."
He added: "Players are coming off the bench for Arsenal and scoring. That shows you that they aren’t passengers, and usually they come on and change the game."
Henry said: "That’s the luxury of having good players on the bench, and that’s why Mikel Arteta is calm when he’s asked questions about players like Eze and why they aren’t playing so much."
Injuries and recent results
Christos Tzolis missed Arsenal’s last six games. Bukayo Saka is sidelined after picking up a quad injury against Bayern Munich.
Henry said: "We played a lot of games without Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, but still managed to find a way."
He added: "Look at who scored the other day – Konsa and Gabriel. This team finds a way to win games."
Henry on Liverpool
Henry said: "After the defeat against Brighton, I said we have to see if that game would be a heavy one for the Arsenal players."
He added: "They reacted well, and I thought the approach to the game against Bayern Munich was very good, trying to be on the ball, put pressure on and play through the lines."
On Liverpool, Henry said: "Let’s see what happens away from home against a Liverpool team who are looking a bit better, especially against Brighton. I thought that was going to be a challenge for them, but fair play, they are playing well."
