Thierry Henry will go up against ex-colleague Patrick Vieira on Friday when Monaco host Nice but he wants their head to head to remain of secondary importance.
Henry and Vieira were key players in France's triumphant 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 campaigns before claiming two Premier League titles together at Arsenal, the second as crucial members of the Gunners' undefeated 'Invincibles'.
Monaco moved out of Ligue 1's relegation zone with a 2-0 win at Amiens on Tuesday and face Cote d'Azur rivals Nice, who are four points adrift of the top three in seventh, at Stade Louis II next.
