Speaking about how Arsenal have to react to the loss to Aston Villa, Declan Rice told Sky Sports: “No one would have predicted our run since January. It's come to an end today. You need to reset and reset.
“I still think there will be plenty more twists and turns to go. We're in a three-horse title race with two unbelievable sides but, as you've seen with other results today, the Premier League can throw up anything. Six finals to go in the Premier League and we'll give it everything.”
He also opened up about Man City going above Arsenal in the table and Liverpool also dropping points, Rice told the BBC: “I don't worry about the other teams. Obviously we didn't control that today which is obviously annoying but we've played last before and it's not been a problem so I don't think any of that really matters to be honest.
“I think it's just down to us, we can't put it down to that. I think us as players, we need to look at ourselves and see why we didn't win the game and why we switched off for two or three minutes, which has killed us. It's disappointing, but now there is the chance for a big reaction on Wednesday night and then away at Wolves. We're going to need to be right at it.”
Arsenal will hope to get back to winning ways when they travel to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals – where they must win to move onto the semi-finals.
