Hupu News on November 24th In a previously concluded North London derby, Arsenal defeated Tottenham 4-1. After the game, Neville said on the podcast that Rice brought unique technical abilities to the team, and Arteta will definitely do his best to ensure that he stays healthy.

Neville said: "What's interesting is that Arsenal has Calafiore and Timber at the full-back position. Skelly and Ben White may perform better on the offensive end, but the gap between White and Timber is actually not big. Whether it is the full-back or central defender position, Arsenal has real high-quality options."

"The only thing that makes you worry is The player who "will affect Arsenal if he is absent for a long time" is Rice, because no one can replace him. He is like your Roy Keane, like your Rodri, the kind of core player who can bring the whole team together. "

"Even if Rice cannot play, Arsenal will always have other players to fill the gap. There is no one who can replace his ability: his impact from set pieces, his running coverage, his impact on the game offensively. I have really enjoyed watching Arsenal this season and I love watching strong teams play good football."

"This Arsenal squad should not only compete and win the Premier League title, in my opinion, in the next two or three years. They are also capable of winning the Champions League this year. This may not be possible this season, because sometimes when you are fully committed to your first Premier League title, you may fail in the two rounds of the Champions League in midweek. "But now Arsenal is approaching that top level in terms of performance, resilience, stability and consistency."
