Declan Rice embodies the exceptional characteristic that Manchester City have, which Arsenal also possess, in the hunt for the Premier League title.

Jamie Redknapp has informed Mikel Arteta about the specific characteristic that Arsenal possesses, which is similar to Manchester City, in the race for the Premier League crown. A fierce competition is expected between the Gunners and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, the current champions, to determine the winner of the domestic trophy in May.

A severe setback occurred throughout December and January, causing Arsenal to fall behind its opponents. However, following the impressive 5-0 victory against Crystal Palace, Arsenal has been in excellent form. Arsenal have achieved a perfect record in their past seven league games, earning all possible points and scoring an impressive 31 goals. This has solidified their position in the title fight.

Arsenal’s recent surge in goal-scoring has allowed them to surpass both Liverpool and Manchester City in the standings, thanks to their superior goal differential. Due to their impressive recent performance in scoring goals, the requests from fans to acquire a new forward have decreased. Redknapp now shares the same opinion when commending Arsenal for their ability to adjust without a traditional striker.

“I openly acknowledged on Sky Sports that I was among those individuals who emphasized the necessity for Arsenal to acquire a striker, and that they should consider investing a substantial amount of money in order to compete with their rivals,” he said. “Prior to the arrival of Erling Haaland, Manchester City had scored 99 goals without a traditional center forward. However, they had players such as De Bruyne, Sterling, and Mahrez who were all consistently scoring a significant number of goals.”

“This demonstrates that it is possible to achieve success without a traditional striker, and their recent performance has been exceptional, as goals are being scored by multiple players.” Each player, including defenders Gabriel and Declan Rice, has contributed to the team’s goals, allowing them to maintain their position.

Redknapp’s statement was demonstrated a just 19 minutes into the Premier League match against Brentford, as Declan Rice scored his sixth goal of the season in the Premier League, giving Arteta’s team the lead. Although Yoane Wissa managed to score a goal in the additional time of the first half, a late strike by Kai Havertz secured a victory for the Gunners, earning them three points.
