Arsenal missed the chance to move further away from Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners were held to a 2-2 draw with Wolves in the top flight at Molineux on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta’s side had a 2-0 lead over Wolves thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie, and Arsenal looked set to take the vital three points.<\/p>\n

Hugo Bueno scored for the home side, but Tom Edsi equalized in stoppage time and Arsenal had to secure a draw on their trip to the West Midlands to seal the points.<\/p>\n

As a result, Arsenal remain at the top of the Premier League with a five-point difference, while City remain in second place with one less game to play.<\/p>\n

The match between Arsenal and Wolves was originally scheduled to take place on the same weekend as the Carabao Cup final, when they would face City at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

City’s game this weekend is against Crystal Palace, but the date for that fixture is yet to be confirmed, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side will be sidelined for the time being.<\/p>\n

If City win that game, they will move two points clear of Arsenal and welcome the Gunners to the Etihad Stadium in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and City both took time off from top-flight duties last week to play in the FA Cup fourth round, and will return to Premier League action this weekend.<\/p>\n

But the race for the Premier League title resumes this weekend, with several important games to come in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

As the title race continues, Mirror Sport presents a list of upcoming Premier League fixtures between Arsenal and Manchester City.<\/p>\n
