The significant absence of captain Martin Odegaard due to injury presents Arsenal with a major challenge as they face Manchester City in a potential title-deciding match.
Manager Mikel Arteta faces immense pressure to replace one of his key players, with the task of finding a suitable midfield strategy against their top rivals.
Declan Rice’s return from suspension is a much-needed boost for Arteta, allowing him to take on responsibilities typically expected from Odegaard despite different roles.
Rice's excellent passing statistics reveal he has the potential to fill Odegaard's shoes, bringing valuable ball-handling skills to a rather limited squad for this crucial encounter.
