Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has issued a warning to Liverpool, vowing that the Gunners will continue their relentless pursuit in the Premier League title race.
Rice played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, a result that significantly boosts their title aspirations.
Despite Liverpool maintaining a six-point lead at the top, with a game in hand, Rice remains confident that Mikel Arteta’s side will push until the very end in their quest to secure their first league title in 21 years.
Rice: “We’ll Keep Pushing Until the End”
Speaking to Sky Sports, the England international reaffirmed Arsenal’s determination:
“We’ll be there, we’ll keep pushing. We need other teams to help us, and credit to Liverpool – they’ve been really good. But it’s up to us to hunt them down.”
Rice also reflected on past heartbreaks, acknowledging how Manchester City denied Arsenal the title last season and in 2021-22.

“City took the title off Arsenal before I was here, and then they beat us to it last season.
It’s been tough to accept, but that only fuels our fire. The boys are buzzing.”
Pundits React: Arsenal’s Statement Victory
The Gunners’ dominant performance against the reigning champions drew praise from football experts, with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher emphasizing the significance of the result.
Neville, speaking on Sky Sports, highlighted the importance of consistency:
“Arsenal needed to make a statement today, and they’ve done just that. Arteta has to maintain that intensity for the rest of the season. Stay in the race, be there if Liverpool slip.”
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher echoed those sentiments, emphasizing Arsenal’s recent resilience:
“They were missing those big-statement results a title-winning side needs. But coming from behind with 10 men against Wolves and now thrashing City – that’s huge.
If they want to wrestle the title from Liverpool, they’ll need that energy.”
Arsenal’s Final Push for Premier League Glory
With the title race heating up, Arsenal must maintain their momentum in the coming weeks. While Liverpool holds the advantage, Rice and his teammates are determined to keep the pressure on, hoping for a slip-up from the Merseysiders.
Can the Gunners finally end their two-decade-long wait for Premier League glory? The final weeks of the season promise to deliver an intense battle at the top.
