Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham, believes Arsenal will dethrone Manchester City as Premier League champions.
After the team’s Boxing Day loss to the Gunners by a score of 3-1, he announced this.
Rice responded, “100%,” when asked whether Arsenal could win the championship. They are a top team, as you can see; they are expertly coached; they have a youthful team; they have a lot of attacking talent; and they can undoubtedly get to the finals.

We did everything we could to stop them in the first half, but we were unsuccessful, which was disappointing.
“It’s a tough one because, even though we didn’t have much of the ball in the first half, we defended incredibly well, had a strategy, and went ahead by one goal, but you can’t sustain that for 90 minutes against a side like Arsenal, and it’s the same against City, Rice said. With their free-flowing game, they were able to get through, and eventually one of their chances would result in something.
As the saying goes, “Your backs are against the wall and it’s up to us to keep going and we attempted to do that but we couldn’t, we couldn’t get up the pitch, they smothered us.”
