That result coupled with Manchester City’s later win over Sunderland means Arsenal’s lead at the top of the table has been whittled down to just two points.
Mikel Arteta’s side have the chance to open back up a five-point lead, albeit maybe only for a few hours, with City not in action until Sunday when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
That said, the north London outfit did bounce back from the Villa defeat by beating Club Brugge 3-0 away on Wednesday to maintain their perfect start to this season’s Champions League.

Arsenal vs Wolves prediction
It’s top vs bottom in the Premier League and the gap in quality should be evident on Saturday night. While Arsenal have a crisis in defence, they are getting their attackers back at the right time.
If Wolves defend like they did against United then it’s a chance for the Gunners to fill their boots and prove the Villa loss was nothing more than a blip.
