Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is confident that his team is ready for the crucial Premier League match against Manchester City, which he describes as the "ultimate test". Following their Carabao Cup final defeat, Rice believes this 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 praised by former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira for his leadership on the field. However, not everyone is convinced of Rice's ability to lead the team to victory, with Roy Keane questioning whether he can challenge and motivate his teammates when needed.

With six games remaining in the Premier League, the match against Manchester City on Sunday is a critical moment in Arsenal's season, and Rice is determined to help his team succeed.
