GUNNER BE IN THE MIX

Rice remains confident of glory at home and abroad

DECLAN RICE has promised Arsenal will be in the hunt for major trophies right until the end of the season.

The Gunners have gone away on a week-long sunshine trip to Dubai to recharge their batteries before the title race run-in and knockout stages of the Champions League.

A similar break worked wonders last season as Arsenal hit winning formupon their return and boss Mikel Arteta will be hoping it has the same effect again amid a difficult season which has been plagued by injuries.

They are six points behind leaders Liverpool, who play their game in hand at Everton tonight, and are into the last 16 in the Champions League.
