Declan Rice Seeks Trophies As Arsenal Chase Down 'Full Throttle' Liverpool

Declan Rice is hoping 2025 brings silverware for Arsenal but knows they need some help to deny a rampant Liverpool the Premier League title.

Declan Rice is hoping 2025 brings silverware for Arsenal but knows they need some help to deny a rampant Liverpool the Premier League title. The Gunners moved second in the table with a 1-0 win over Ipswich on Friday but remain six points behind Liverpool, who also have a game in hand. Arsenal finished second to Manchester City in each of the previous two seasons and Rice wants to end their status as nearly men in the new year.

"Hopefully the new year brings trophies - we've been pushing for that. To make the next step to be amongst the elite, you have to win stuff," the England midfielder told Amazon Prime.

"We can keep winning games but it means nothing if you don't win nothing.

"Liverpool are full throttle, they were under (Jurgen) Klopp and now under (Arne) Slot. They don't let anyone breathe. We need someone to help us out so they can drop points as we can only focus on ourselves and hopefully something can happen."

Arsenal's chances of chasing down a Liverpool side that have lost just once in 17 Premier League games under Slot has not been helped by a serious hamstring injury suffered by Bukayo Saka.
