Declan Rice has warned Liverpool that Arsenal will continue to "hunt them down" in its pursuit to win the Premier League title.


The Gunners stayed within touching distance of Liverpool with an emphatic 5-1 victory over reigning champions Manchester City




It’s a result that leaves Arsenal six points behind Liverpool


the leaders do have a game in hand. That will be played in 10 days’ time when the Reds make the short trip across Stanley Park to take on Everton in the final Goodison Park derby.



Arsenal demonstrated on Sunday that, should Liverpool slip-up, it is poised to take advantage, even if Rice knows the prospect of catching Liverpool is daunting


Rice:


“Liverpool are still quite far in front, especially with the game in hand and with them winning yesterday, we know going into the game that we have to win these games,"


“It’s more disappointing the games like [Aston] Villa when we’re 2-0 up and drop those sort of points.


“It’s the Brightons away when were winning and could be up there closer to Liverpool,” he added, in reference to the recent matches when Arsenal led and dropped points.


“But as the manager says, we’ll be there and we’ll keep pushing. We do need other teams and Liverpool, credit to them, they’ve been really good so far and have top players. It’s down to us to hunt them.


“They’ve put themselves in this position and respect to them, but we know the goal we have which is to hunt them down and to win the Premier League.


“There’s still a long way to go and so many games to go. We have to stay positive, take each game as it comes and I’m sure we’ll be fine.”


On the game, Rice added:


“To win 5-1 is an unbelievable scoreline – we had fire in our bellies from what happened at the Etihad at the start of the season, we really wanted to amend that. I think we did.”


Arsenal faces Newcastle United on Wednesday in the second leg of its Carabao Cup semifinal, before a 10-day gap until the trip Leicester City in the Premier League.
