FORMER Arsenal defender Gael Clichy has revealed the three players he feels changed the Premier League forever.
The ex-France left-back, 38, will watch the Gunners take on Manchester City - another of his old sides - on Sunday in a huge clash in the title race.
And two of his three Premier League game-changers were his team-mates the last time Arsenal became champions as The Invincibles in 2004.
Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira were two of the key men in that side and have unsurprisingly been named by Clichy as having had an instrumental impact on the league.
He also insisted Henry would be well-suited to the modern game.

But the third man may surprise some people as he was a nemesis of both Arsenal and Man City.
It is Manchester United legend Roy Keane.
When asked about the greatest players he ever played with, Clichy told Super 6: "There’s no doubt, Thierry Henry [on the best player he played with].
"In my mind three players changed the Premier League, Thierry Henry, Vieira and Roy Keane.
"Thierry just himself, at certain moments, was the Premier League.

"He was so good to play with and really difficult to play against, I’m pretty sure some defenders were having nightmares about him.
"Henry is a 2024 player, his pace, power, mentality, ruthlessness."
Nowadays, Clichy is Henry's assistant for France's U21 and U23 teams.
The pair will coach their country's Olympic team in Paris this summer.
