Declan Rice has listed the teams that are a threat to Arsenal's hopes of winning the Premier League title.

The Gunners moved up to second place in the league table with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Friday night. A first-half goal from Kai Havertz secured the three points for Arsenal as they moved ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest in the overall standings.

Mikel Arteta's side are six points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand and beat Leicester City on Boxing Day. Arsenal are also eight points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, who were held to a draw with Everton last time out.

The Gunners will return to Premier League action on New Year's Day when they travel to face Brentford next week before going away to Brighton a few days later. Rice believes that, while Liverpool remain a title rival for Arsenal, they are not the only club that will be competing for the trophy.

"Massive respect to them [Liverpool], obviously we're up against them and they're one of our rivals," Rice told Amazon Prime when asked about the Gunners challenging Liverpool for the Premier League title.

"They're full-throttle, Liverpool, they were like it under [Jurgen] Klopp and they're like it under [Arne] Slot. They don't let anyone breathe.

"We need someone to help us out so they can drop some points, but we can only focus on ourselves and keep winning our matches and hopefully something can happen."

"There's loads of teams, Rice added when asked if any other clubs can challenge Arsenal and Liverpool for the title. "Chelsea have been outstanding, they've shocked everyone. Everyone had written them off at the start of the season and didn't think they could do it. They've been amazing, the way they've been playing.

"Obviously, Man City, they've not had the results, but the quality is there still and they're gonna push [for the title]. [Aston] Villa have been really good, [Nottingham] Forest, anyone can win and anyone can beat anyone now.

"I don't feel like the Premier League is like what it used to be 10-15 years ago where a team could rock up and you knew you would win. Now it's a tough game every single game, you need to be on it and focused.

"It's going to be a long end to the season but one we're ready for and we need to keep pushing."
