The Gunners remain five points clear of their nearest challenger, Man City with one game in hand.

However, Walker, who left Tottenham Hotspurs for the Etihad, speaking after the loss to the Lillywhites acknowledged it was a missed opportunity. 

He went on to send a note of warning to the Gunners, saying despite not taking their advantage against Spurs, there will be other opportunities in the future to close the gap and leapfrog the league leaders.

He said: “Of course, it is [a missed opportunity].

“They dropped points and we needed to pick up points to close the gap, but there is still a lot of football to be played.

“I have been here many, many years in the Premier League and I know the twists and turns that can happen.”
