They’ve been title contenders in recent years, and they’re still a fantastic squad. The Chelsea star, nevertheless, stated that his team would approach this encounter just like any other.There’s bound to be some healthy competition between the lads, but I can assure you that both my teammates and I will be bringing our A-game to Sunday’s match.

It’s the same as any other Premier League match, but playing against them on the national team adds an extra layer of animosity.

We have to strive to win those games; we get frustrated anytime we lose, and Manchester United was no exception. “We also lost to Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest,” he continued.

The Arsenal midfielder missed last week’s match against Inter, so his availability to play versus Rice is still up in the air. He will have a late fitness call to determine his playing status.
