Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is confident that his team is ready for the crucial Premier League match against Manchester City, following their Carabao Cup final defeat. Rice described the upcoming game as the 'ultimate test' and expressed his eagerness to make a statement.

The Gunners are seeking to strengthen their bid for a first Premier League title in 22 years. Rice, who recently recovered from an illness, is fully fit and ready to face City. He has been praised for his leadership, with former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira noting that Rice is the 'engine of the team.' However, Roy Keane has expressed doubts about Rice's ability to challenge his teammates and make a significant impact.

The match is set to be a defining moment in the season, with Arsenal aiming to prove themselves against one of the top teams in the league.
