'I have a job to do': Declan Rice fires warning to West Ham after Arsenal FC get Premier League title boost

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has issued a warning to former club West Ham amid their ongoing battle to stay in the Premier League.

Rice returns to the London Stadium this weekend in a vital fixture at both ends of the table.

The Gunners know victory over the Hammers will move them one step closer to being crowned champions of England, after Manchester City slipped up against Everton on Monday night.

Speaking after helping Arsenal overcome Atletico Madrid to reach the Champions League final, Rice immediately turned his attentions to Sunday’s game and warned that he has a job to do for his current employers.

"It's all to play for but we've got to stay composed and focused,” he told Amazon Prime.

“It's a tough one because we're into the Champions League final but Sunday is a massive one as well (against West Ham in the Premier League)."

"Without West Ham there is no me. They gave me a chance when Chelsea didn't. Not nice to see the position they are in.

“It is football and I have a job to do on Sunday. It is the business end of the season."

The midfielder also netted at the London Stadium in a 6-0 thrashing during the 2023-24 campaign.

Arsenal will know Man City’s result before kicking off in east London as Man City are in action on Saturday evening at home to Brentford looking for a win to close the gap at the top of the table to two points.
