Despite seeing their chances of domestic and European glory disappear in recent weeks Wenger's men could yet snatch second place from Chelsea and the Frenchman is still expecting 100% from his players.

"I've not made a decision yet about who will play but I will have a look at Fabianski [before] the end of the season, and it could be on Monday," he said.

"For me he's class. He understands football, reads the game well and is quick. He is technically good with good co-ordination and has a good connection with the team."

Wenger's faith in Fabianski is such the Arsenal manager feels he would not have to bring in another goalkeeper should Lehmann, who is out of contract in June, leave during the summer.

"At the moment I say no (to another keeper)," he added.

"(It depends) how well Fabianski does if I play him - but, on that front, I am not especially worried."

Wenger also believes that his team have made big strides this term despite fading away towards the end of the campaign.

"We have won 21 games and our target is 83 points," he said. "I feel we have made progress. Last season we were never in the race which is terrible for a big club. This year we were definitely in the race - if we had won at Old Trafford we would have had a 90% chance of winning the title so it was on one game.

"I feel the team has performed well. We have contributed to the championship in terms of the quality have produced."
