Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice believes his team is ready for the crucial Premier League match against Manchester City, following their Carabao Cup final defeat. Rice expressed his eagerness for the 'ultimate test' and stated that a win would be a significant statement.

The Gunners are targeting a Premier League victory to strengthen their bid for a first title in 22 years. Rice, who recovered from an illness to play against Sporting Lisbon, said the team is prepared and hungry for the challenge. Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira praised Rice's leadership, while Gary Neville expects Rice to have a big impact against City. However, Roy Keane is not convinced that Rice can make a difference.
