Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, has said his team are trying to catch up with second-placed Manchester City.
The Gunners moved up to third position in the Premier League table, after a 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday and as a result, are now four points behind the defending champions.
Wenger admits they are not close to winning the title, but says they can compete for second place – a feat they have not achieved since the 2004/2005 season.
“Of course it is possible,” said Wenger when asked about the possibility of overtaking Manuel Pellegrini’s men.
“If you ask a team four points behind us if they could catch us and they would say certainly, yes.
“It’s very tight. Man City are four points ahead and there are plenty of people chasing us in the top four. It’s down to consistency.
“We have seen things change quickly in the last two or three months of the season. We have to focus on finishing as well as we can.”
