Arsenal’s next Premier League fixtures compared to Man City after title race setback

Arsenal missed the chance to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.

That setback at Molineux on Wednesday handed control of the title race to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side are five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, with the two teams set to play each other at the Etihad in April and meet in the Carabao Cup final in March

Arsenal’s dismal second-half performance at Wolves showed the pressure of chasing a first Premier League title in 22 years is getting to them.

Mikel Arteta’s side have now managed just two wins in seven Premier League games and they have dropped four crucial points in successive draws away at Brentford and Wolves.

Next up for Arsenal is the north London derby at Tottenham on Sunday and their wobble comes at a decisive stage in the season.

So what does the start of the title run-in look like? Here’s how both team’s schedule compare…

Tottenham (A) – February 22

FA Cup vs Mansfield Town (A) – March 17

Carabao Cup final vs Manchester City – March 22

Bournemouth (H) – April 11
