Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has described Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice as the Premier League's outstanding midfielder, placing him alongside club legend Patrick Vieira.

Carragher made the comparison while analyzing Rice's impact since his move to Arsenal, highlighting the England international's all-round abilities in central midfield.

Vieira, who captained Arsenal's "Invincibles" side during the 2003-04 season, is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders in Premier League history.
