Tottenham Hotspurs manager Martin Jol said his side still hold a bigger chance than Arsenal to snatch the remaining Champions League berth.

"The fans shouldn't get nervous because we are still in fourth - in the first half we did well but didn't score more, that was the only problem," Jol was quoted as saying by Sky Sports Network after the victory over Manchester City.

"If Arsenal win all their games then maybe we could have a problem but we don't focus on other teams, we will see what we do between now and the end of the season."

The Spurs are five points ahead but played two more games than Arsenal and the two sides will clash at Highbury in a must-win game for both of them on April 22nd.

Arsenal, who suffer on of their worst domestic campaigns, sparked back to life in Europe where they reached the semis of the UEFA Champions League after toppling Spanish giants Real Madrid and Italian Champions Juventus.

The Dutch boss was satisfied by his players' performance but didn't forget to give credit to City's keeper David James.

"It's a great result and a very exciting game again,'' Jol said. ''They made it difficult or us but if it wasn't for James we'd have scored three, four or five goals."
