This season's three-pronged 首相 League 肩書を与える race is 始める，決める for it's next 一時期／支部 on Sunday as Manchester City play host to 兵器庫 at the Etihad, and a 確かな midfield 戦う／戦い has the 可能性のある to decide which 味方する ends up with the three points.

All 注目する，もくろむs are on this 週末's monumental 衝突／不一致 with just one point separating the Gunners and City in first and third, with Liverpool 挟むd between the two.

Both 味方するs 誇る a 抱擁する 量 of talent, but all 注目する，もくろむs are going to be on the 必然的な midfield 戦う／戦い between Rodri and Declan Rice.

A 審議 about who is superior between the 国民s' 'lighthouse' and the 兵器庫 number 41 has gathered pace over the course of this season and their contest in the middle on Sund ay will be 重要な.

We were robbed of seeing a 対決 between the two players when 兵器庫 （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Manchester City 1-0 at the 首長国s Stadium in October, as Rodri 行方不明になるd the match through 傷害.

Rodri (L) and Declan Rice (R) are 始める，決める to do 戦う／戦い as Manchester City host 兵器庫?on Sunday

The pair met in August as 兵器庫 （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Man City on 刑罰，罰則s to 解除する the Community 保護物，者

Rodri has won 10 肩書を与えるs while at Manchester City while Rice has won one at 兵器庫

Rodri is regarded as the （判断の）基準 by many for what a number six should be, Rice himself even believes the Spanish international is the best in the world.

Speaking while on England 義務 earlier in the week, Rice said: 'You look at the best No6s in the world,?Rodri [is] arguably the best.'

However, Rice himself has a 事例／患者 for 存在 in the conversation after an excellent first season at 兵器庫, and looking at the 統計（学）, it's （疑いを）晴らす to see why both players are 決定的な to their 味方するs.

The Gunners' £105m midfielder hasn't 行方不明になるd a league game this season, starting all 28 matches, while Rodri has played and started 25 without losing any.

Pep Guardiola's 味方する have lost all three league matches in which Rodri has 行方不明になるd, with the midfielder unavailable through either 傷害 or 中断,?証明するing how pivotal he is to the 味方する.

?*All stats 儀礼 of Opta

Both players 向こうずね in their own way while marshalling midfield, but in an attacking sense they cannot be separated, both netting six times and 補助装置ing on five occasions in the 首相 League this season.?

However, when it comes to passing, it's Rodri that comes out on 最高の，を越す. The 27-year-old leads the way in the 分割 with 2428 successful passes, with 1516 of those coming in the 対立's half.

Rice's?1662 successful passes, with?954 in the …に反対するing half, are respectable, but the numbers are no match for the leagues pass-master.

When the Spanish midfielder can't pass his way through a team he finds other ways, 完全にするing a nifty 28 dribbles this （選挙などの）運動をする, which is 二塁打 that of Rice with 14.?

Rodri is superior in the duels department to the Gunners midfielder 同様に, winning 150 of them compared to Rice's 114, while coming out on 最高の，を越す aerially too with 44 空中の duels won, nine more than Rice.

The 'lighthouse' has also created more big chances, had more 発射s on 的, and has a higher 推定する／予想するd goals than 兵器庫's 25-year-old maestro.

While the numbers について言及するd so far make it look like a （疑いを）晴らす victory for Rodri in the 審議 with Rice, we are not finished yet.

There is no 疑問 about Rodri's ability going 今後, he always seems to pop up with a big goal - 兵器庫 fans will remember the last-minute 勝利者 he netted at the 首長国s in 2022.

Rodri broke 兵器庫 hearts in January? 2022, 得点する／非難する／２０ing a 93rd-minute 勝利者 to 調印（する） a 2-1 勝利，勝つ

Rice enjoys a big goal too, his sixth of the season （機の）カム against Brentford on March 9

However, the 防御の areas are where Rice really 向こうずねs.

After losing out on the 肩書を与える last season to Man City, 兵器庫 knew they needed a Rodri-like 人物／姿／数字 深い in the midfield if they were going to challenge once again.

They slapped the big money 負かす／撃墜する for Rice, and what a success it has been. There is no 疑問 that his 業績／成果s are a major 推論する／理由 the Gunners 現在／一般に sit at the 首脳会議.

The England international?loves to break up play and 妨げる 対立 原因（となる）ing 損失, he has a total of 35 interceptions in the league, while Rodri has 15 いっそう少なく with 20.

Rice also loves to throw his 団体／死体 on the line, which is a mentality he will need against a relentless Man City team at the 週末. On 証拠, the 兵器庫 man does it わずかに more than Rodri, with eight 封鎖するs to the City midfielder's seven.

Rice is also superior when it comes to 通関手続き／一掃s with 42 to Rodri's 34, while he has also won more 取り組むs, but only by one.

Rice has 完全にするd 34 取り組むs this season, one more than Rodri has for Man City

So, going by these numbers it's （疑いを）晴らす to see where both players 向こうずね in their own 権利.

Both know how to find the 支援する of the 逮捕する and love a foray 負かす／撃墜する the pitch - Rodri in particular - and they are 極端に の近くに on the 防御の 統計（学）.

There is no 疑問 that the two will 戦う／戦い it out against each other this 週末 in a match with such high 火刑／賭けるs, and if 兵器庫 are to 勝利，勝つ at the Etihad for the first time since 2015, Rice will have to come out on 最高の，を越す.?
