Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal are currently "nowhere near" being involved in the race for the Premier League title – but is setting his sights on overtaking second-placed Manchester City.
The Gunners are currently third in the table, nine points adrift of
leaders Chelsea but just four behind second-placed City.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton are all in the hunt for Champions League qualification in what promises to be a thrilling finale to the season.
Wenger takes his side across London to face struggling QPR on
Wednesday night looking for a seventh win in eight league games but, even with such a strong run of form, Wenger feels a push for the title is not currently feasible.
"At the moment we are nowhere near to winning the Premier League, and nowhere near close to being in the race," he said.
"But what we want is to do as well as we can without speculating on the weakness of any team. The only thing you can say is that it's very tight.
"You look in front of you, Manchester City are four points ahead of us, and you look behind you, there's plenty of people chasing us.
"That will be very, very tight and it will be down to consistency in our results and mental strength. That will certainly be needed again on Wednesday night."
