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. The Gunners are seeking to make a strong statement and strengthen their bid for a first Premier League title in 22 years.
Rice, who recovered from an illness to play against Sporting Lisbon, believes that the team is prepared for the challenge and is eager to eradicate the hurt from their previous loss. With six games remaining in the Premier League, Rice views the upcoming match as the 'ultimate test' and is determined to lead his team to victory.
Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has praised Rice's leadership, describing him as the 'engine of the team.' However, not everyone is convinced of Rice's ability to make a significant impact, with Roy Keane questioning his ability to challenge and motivate his teammates.
