With nine more games to the end of the English premier League season, Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has insisted that the title race is "far from being over".
The Gunners are eight points behind current league leaders, Leicester, and are third on the log, but the French manager said that they will fight till the very end of the season.
Arsenal, who will battling Hull City on Tuesday night in a FA Cup Replay match came from 2-1 down to share points with Tottenham last Saturday.
"We will not give up the Premier League, we will fight until the end," Wenger, 66, said.
"Just to remind you, we have beaten Leicester twice so we have done our job against them. People have to look at other teams more, not just us on that front.
"The Premier League is far from being over."
Arsenal are competing for three trophies, including the FA Cup and the Champions League, although they face an uphill battle in the latter following their 2-0 home defeat by Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
They travel to Hull on Tuesday for a fifth-round replay in the FA Cup - a competition they have won for the past two seasons.
Wenger, who is in his 20th season as Arsenal boss, has been criticised during their recent poor run but he says he is unaffected.
"I believe that opinions are opinions," the Frenchman said. "I do my job and one day someone will replace me and will replace you.
"I try to do my best and leave this club in the best shape so the guy coming after me will have good potential to work with." BBC
