Thierry Henry reveals Arsenal concern which could cost Mikel Arteta's side Europa League success

Arsenal are favourites with most of the bookmakers to win this year's Europa League. The Gunners are 5/1 with Sky Bet to win the competition, and they begin their campaign with a trip to FC Zurich this evening.

Having started the Premier League season in impressive form with five wins out of six, Arsenal will be hoping they can fight on two fronts this season. The Gunners will also face PSV and Bodo/Glimt in their Europa League group.

Despite being favourites to win the competition, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has one major concern over the Gunners' Europa League prospects. Mikel Arteta is expected to ring the changes when Arsenal travel to Switzerland, and he is likely to throughout the group stage, but Henry questions whether the North London side have the depth needed to lift the silverware at the end of the competition.

"I can see a team there, a togetherness, and I like that," Henry told CBS Sports.

"Look, the team is different, but you've got the likes of Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka.

"I believe in them. I haven't believed like this for a very long time, believed that we could do something.

"But I worry about the Europa League because of the depth of the team. I think the starting XI is good enough, but this is a long season, so it might be a bit much for them."
