Arsene Wenger claims that if Tottenham finish above Arsenal this season, it will be a "one-off", reports Sky Sports.

Spurs, who are three points ahead of their neighbours with two games to play, are strong favourites to break a run of finishing below the Gunners in the Premier League table, which dates back to the 1994/95 season.

But Wenger believes it is still possible for his side to surpass Tottenham and wants a minimum of a point against Manchester City to ensure Arsenal maintain their hold on third position.

"It is still an important game, even if Leicester are champions and we are second best," Wenger explained at his weekly press conference.

"It is still a very important game because part of the responsibility of being a professional is to prepare the future, and the future of Arsenal Football Club depends on this game.

"Our target now is to secure a position in the Champions League next year and, if possible, to get in second place or at least secure third place. On Sunday, we can achieve that.

"Tottenham had a very good season. They didn't manage to finish very strongly recently but overall, they had a very good season and they have a strong team.

"But our target is still, if possible, to get in front of them."

If Spurs do manage to finish above Arsenal, Wenger does not see it as a sign of things to come.

"If they do that, you can at least say it is a one-off because in 20 years, it has happened once," Wenger said.

"But at the moment, it is not done."
