DECLAN RICE says Arsenal have to win at Manchester City on Sunday to change perceptions and show they are ready to win the title.
Leaders Arsenal go to the Etihad to face City in a huge game in the race for the Premier League crown.
The Gunners and Liverpool are level on points at the top of the table, with City one point back in a three-way fight to be champions.
Arsenal have suffered eight straight defeats at the Etihad, including a 4-1 loss in April last season, as City chased them down to win the title.
But Rice (right) believes this Arsenal team has the “steeliness and character” to break that run and win in the blue half of Manchester for the first time since 2015.
“We have got to go to the Etihad, which is going to be really tough, but if you want to get past that barrier of Arsenal being labelled stuff, you have to go there and win,” said Rice.
