Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is confident that his team is ready for the 'ultimate test' against Manchester City on Sunday. Following their Carabao Cup final defeat, Rice believes a win against City would be a massive statement. The Gunners are targeting a Premier League victory to strengthen their bid for a first title in 22 years. Rice, who has been hailed as a leader by former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, has expressed his eagerness to face City, saying 'it's why we play the game.' He has also allayed fears about his fitness after recovering from an illness that made him a doubt for the game against Sporting Lisbon.
With six games left in the Premier League, Rice acknowledges the significance of the match, stating that it's the ultimate test, but one that Arsenal is ready for.
