"It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story isn't it?" said Micah Richards, former Manchester City defender and Arsenal fan, on The Rest is Football podcast.

"They keep a clean sheet and they deny opportunities, they work really hard and I don't like singling out just one player, because I feel like it is a team effort, and I have to give Arteta credit for building that. It looked like it was coming, couldn't quite get over the line, now it looks like it is back."

"But I have to identify Declan Rice. Declan Rice has taken his game to the next level, where you are talking about him being one of the best in world football."
