Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is confident that his team is ready for the 'ultimate test' as they face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday. Following their Carabao Cup final defeat, Rice believes this match is an opportunity for the Gunners to make a 'massive statement' and strengthen their bid for a first Premier League title in 22 years. Rice, who recently recovered from an illness to play against Sporting Lisbon, has been hailed as a leader by his teammates and former players, including Patrick Vieira.
However, not everyone is convinced of Rice's ability to lead the team to victory, with Roy Keane questioning his ability to challenge his teammates and get a grip on the game. The match against Manchester City will be a crucial test for Arsenal, and Rice is eager to prove himself as a key player in the team's pursuit of the title.
