After a draw with Brentford last time out for the Gunners and the champions beating Aston Villa, Arsenal are three points clear at the top of the Premier League, although City have played one more game than their rivals.
There is a long way to go before the end of the season but it is still a huge game and Henry wants to see one star in particular take the bull by the horns.
The Frenchman has called upon Saka to continue to shine, as he has over the campaign so far, and decide the game in the Gunners’ favour.
‘A player for me that… There’s so many players I’m looking forward to seeing in the game, but I’m going to have to mention Bukayo Saka,’ Henry told Amazon Prime Video Sport.
‘Why? Because the way he came back from the Euros, missing that penalty, he’s never looked back since.
‘And I just think that I want the team to win and all of that, but I want him to play well in that game [against Man City], play well until the end of the season and to be the player that can decide games.’
The former Barcelona and France superstar did also suggest that Saka might have to add an edge to his game, though, if the likeable 21-year-old wanted to reach the very top of the game.
Henry added: ‘I said it the other day, I was on Amazon doing the game against West Ham, I said “big players are not nice”.
‘If you want to be big, if you want to be the guy, big players are not nice.’
