All eyes will be on Manchester City’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur after Arsenal’s 4-0 win against Leeds United.
The Gunners have played first this weekend, and they are now seven points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side in the Premier League table.
Arsenal fans are looking at Tottenham to do them a favour, but history shows that they do no such thing – remember Son Heung-min’s miss against City a few years ago?
Despite that, we are sure supporters will hope for some help from their rivals, but Declan Rice couldn’t care less about what will happen in that game.

Declan Rice responds when asked if he will support Tottenham against Manchester City
Rice has no love for Tottenham.
The Englishman started his career at Chelsea before being released as a teenager. He then joined West Ham and became a star there before sealing a club-record move to Arsenal in 2023.
The common theme among all of the above clubs is that they do not like Tottenham, so we expect that to be ingrained in Rice.
However, after Arsenal’s 4-0 win against Leeds United, former Spurs manager Tim Sherwood tried to get the Arsenal star to admit that he would be supporting the other club in North London when they face title rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

“Having played for West Ham and now for Arsenal, there wouldn’t have been many times you wanted Tottenham to win. But maybe tomorrow night?” Sherwood asked.
Rice laughed and replied on Sky Sports: “Yeah, yeah, no! You’ve put me on the spot there, to be honest.
“Obviously, it’s a massive game. We’re in tomorrow, we’re training because we have a semi-final on Tuesday. If I can watch it, I will. If not, I’m not too bothered.
“We’ve got to control what we can control, and keep winning games. There’s not long left to go. Every game is a cup final, we need to have this mentality now towards the end and got to keep pushing.
“What will be, will be.”
Arsenal fans, be honest. Will you support Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City?
Arsenal players should all listen to what Declan Rice has just said
The worst mistake Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal can make now is look at Manchester City.
Yes, Guardiola’s side can close the gap back down to four points, but Arteta and his men cannot let it affect them even a little bit.
Rice is spot on with his assessment. He doesn’t care about the Tottenham game because it is not something he or his teammates can control.
The Englishman also added that every game is a cup final from now on, which means the Gunners will want to win every single fixture.
