West Ham midfielder Declan Rice says they're attack Arsenal today.

Rice says that, despite losing narrowly at Manchester United last time out, the Irons are in a positive frame of mind ahead of the visit of Mikel Arteta's side.

He told the club's website: “The mood is good, it's very good, we're calm, we're relaxed and we're ready. Arsenal have hit a good bit of form and we lost our last game 1-0 at Manchester United with a disappointing performance, but we're ready to go, we're at home and it's a London derby, so we're ready to go out there and give it everything we've got.

“It's a massive game. Arsenal are seven points behind us and if they win then the gap goes to four and everything really starts to tighten up, so we really want to push on."

He added: “Speaking honestly, the last two or three years have been below par. We've been in a relegation battle and looking to finish mid-table, but a massive club like West Ham with a massive fanbase and a massive stadium needs to be pushing where we are now.

“The lads are really confident now, going into the last ten games, that we can really pull something out of the bag. We know we can keep the form going and keep winning football matches to push up the table, but we're going to take it one game at a time."
