Arsenal are "nowhere near" winning the Premier League title, according to manager Arsene Wenger
The Gunners lie third in the Premier League table, nine points behind leaders Chelsea with 11 games to play.
Wenger does not see his side as title challengers, despite six wins in their last seven league matches.
"At the moment we are nowhere near to winning the Premier League, and nowhere near close to being in the race," the Frenchman, 65, said.
Wenger nevertheless wants his side to keep up the pressure on Jose Mourinho's league leaders, citing the example of Manchester City in the 2011-12 season.
Roberto Mancini's City side trailed Manchester United by eight points with six games to go but recovered to win the Premier League title on the final day of the season.
"At the moment we are too far from Chelsea to say we are in the title race, but you never know what can happen,' he said.
'I speak as well about Manchester City, why should they give up for the title? They have done it three years ago from being eight points behind."
