Leicester beat Liverpool 2-0 to retain top spot, while Arsenal have dropped below Manchester City and Tottenham, who won at Sunderland and Norwich respectively on Tuesday.
With another draw, Arsenal have gone 270 minutes and 34 shots in the league without scoring.
Wenger insisted that his “side managed to create ten good chances, but didn’t score”.
The French manager felt that his side produced a really good performance in the second half of the game and, therefore, called on Arsenal to focus on their performance in order to win the upcoming matches.
"Leicester won again and now I am sure that everybody will take them very seriously, especially in the media, so they will be under pressure as well," said Wenger.
"But we have not to look too much at Leicester or ManCity. We have to win football games. We have to focus on how to respond quickly and win our next game, that's all we can do."
Arsenal will next play against Bournemouth on February 7.
Southampton Ronald Koeman, however, praised Arsenal's superb form and ability to create so many chances, insisting that they still have an opportunity to clinch the EPL title.
