Declan Rice has warned Manchester City that Arsenal will give it \u2018absolutely everything\u2019 on Sunday as the Premier League title favourites lock horns.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

City and Arsenal were involved in an epic title race last season and despite the Gunners leading the table for a record 248 days, it was Pep Guardiola\u2019s side who eventually came out on top as they went on to land a famous treble.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are desperate to secure their first top-flight title since 2004 and strengthened their squad in the summer transfer window, signing midfielder Rice from West Ham in a huge \u00a3105m deal as they look to close the gap to City.<\/p>\n

Some pundits have tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League this term and the north Londoners will be encouraged by City\u2019s back-to-back defeats to Newcastle United and Wolves.<\/p>\n

Arsenal lost to French side RC Lens in the Champions League on Tuesday but Rice feels the result can be \u2018good\u2019 for his side because they can \u2018bounce back\u2019 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re 10 games into the season, another 50 to go,\u2019 Rice said. \u2018We\u2019re just warming up and getting into our rhythm, but our full focus turns back to the league and it\u2019s a massive game on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Every game is huge and Man City is obviously a massive game. It is one we are going to be up for, for sure. <\/p>\n

\u2018We played them earlier in the season [in the Community Shield] which is a good thing. We will give it absolutely everything on Sunday. For 90 minutes we will be going at it, and hopefully we come out on top.<\/p>\n

\u2018We absolutely dominated [Lens] in terms of the ball, but both boxes were key. They scored two great goals and we couldn\u2019t break down their back five. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s really tough to play against when teams sit so deep and the gaps are not there. We\u2019ll take the positives and the negatives. I think i\u2019s good for us as a team to have that loss, as we can bounce back and see where we can improve.\u2019<\/p>\n
