Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can still have a major impact on the outcome of the Premier League title race.
The Gunners meet Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea during their final six games of the season with the trio battling for supremacy at the top of the table.
Wenger's men are 10 points adrift of leaders United, who also have a game in hand, yet the Frenchman has stubbornly still not written off his side's chances.
The Emirates Stadium boss accepts that Arsenal are rank outsiders but has called on his players to win all of their remaining games in what promises to be an intriguing end to the campaign.
"We have not given up yet to come back this season," he said. "It is very unlikely we will win the Premier League this season.
"But we give absolutely everything in every game and we still have a chance to do it and to finish as close as possible to the top.
"We have big challenges in the Premier League when we play Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.
"If we don't win the league, at least we have a strong word in who else will win it and there is still a little chance to get back on Chelsea. We want to play like we have a good chance."
Wenger is pleased with the collective way his squad have responded to a difficult start to the campaign to regain a place among the top four.
He said: "In the first 14 games we lost five and in the last 17 we lost none. That means the team has improved and that the team is on a good way.
"The most important thing is to be faithful to the vision we have of the game and to improve in life. This team is improving.
"At least we know where we go and I believe as well that the club is in a very healthy position financially, structure-wise, player-wise and we have to be very positive."
