Wenger desperate for Arsenal to finish third

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal will be fully focused on delivering third place in the Barclays Premier League at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The Gunners host Europa League finalists Fulham who may have their minds "elsewhere".

Arsenal have seen their title challenge fade in the last few weeks following successive away defeats at Tottenham and then Wigan, when leading 2-0 with just 10 minutes left, before also losing at Blackburn on Monday.

Indeed, victory for Fulham at Emirates Stadium on Sunday could see arch-rivals Spurs claim third spot and with it automatic entry into the Champions League.

"Their focus could be elsewhere, but we are in a situation where we do not want to focus on any weakness from Fulham," said Wenger, speaking to the Arsenal Podcast on the club's official website.

"Let's focus on our performance and make sure we turn up with the right attitude and I believe we will get the point or three points that we need."
