Declan Rice believes the confidence he has taken from his new role in midfield has made him feel ‘unstoppable’ for Arsenal and England this season.

With Harry Kane sidelined with an injury, Rice captained England to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Wales at Wembley on Thursday night.

Goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka secured the victory, but it was another impressive display from Rice, who, in particular, continued to build on his solid partnership with Elliott Anderson in midfield.

Rice has been an instrumental figure under Thomas Tuchel since the German’s arrival, and has also continued to flourish under Mikel Arteta so far this campaign, helping Arsenal top the table prior to the international break.

And the 26-year-old believes that the freedom to roam in midfield under both Tuchel and Arteta has been a vital part of his fine form so far this season.
