Arsene Wenger: We are 90 per cent sure of third place

Saturday afternoon was an unusual one because we created very few chances and I am not used to that.

Manchester City didn't create much either - they were highly focused on defending well. They didn't give us any space and we could not find the opener. For as long as we couldn't do that it was a locked game basically. We saw two teams who played well defensively, had very good discipline but created very few chances.

But I am not surprised City did not attack more. They may think that if they can get a point against us and beat Tottenham at home then they will finish fourth. As for us, we are 90 per cent sure of third place.

Emmanuel Adebayor's appearance made the game a bit livelier because our supporters responded, while he was focused, motivated and sharp. But even then City didn't create much - they played a lot on the counter-attack and we weren't in trouble often.

Robin van Persie started his first game since November and he was sharp for 60 or 70 minutes. After that he dropped physically, but that's understandable. I left him on because I thought a set-piece could have been decisive and he could score from a free-kick or deliver a corner. Having been out for such a long time, Robin's performance was very positive.

Sol Campbell was excellent - since he has been back in the team he has been outstanding. I never really expected this from him and that is a great credit to him. I will sit down with him at some point to talk about his future.

Finally, a word for Lukasz Fabianski. He was spot on from the first to the last minute on Saturday. He read all the situations very well and that is what you want from him. I have always said he is one of the most talented goalkeepers and when he gets his concentration right he will be fine.
