Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta addresses top-four battle with Manchester United after Wolves win
25.02.2022 - 13:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has played down the fact that his side have two games in hand on Manchester United in the race for a top-four finish after moving to within one point of them in the Premier League table.
The Gunners, who were beaten 3-2 at Old Trafford back in December, came from a goal down to seal a dramatic 2-1 win over Wolves at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday evening, courtesy of a 95th minute own-goal by goalkeeper Jose Sa.

"Well, we have the possibility obviously to go above [United], which is what we want," Arteta told Amazon Prime.
"But we have to go game by game, now it's Watford, and the two games in hand really are not important.
"We still have 14 games to play and we have to make the most out of them. That's the objective."
United, of course, can reopen a four-point cushion on Arsenal with three points against Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Arsenal were scheduled to face Liverpool this weekend but the fixture has been postponed due to the Merseyside club's involvement in the Carabao Cup final at
