He made this known after the team lost 3-1 to the Gunners on Boxing Day.
Afterwards when asked if Arsenal could go all the way, Rice said: “100%. They are a top team as you can see they are coached incredibly well, have a lot of attacking talent, a young squad and they can go the whole way for sure.
“First-half we tried as hard as we could to stop them, we came up short and it’s frustrating.”
