Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says his team can overhaul neighbours Manchester City and claim the Premier League runners-up place.
Chelsea are top of the table by six points, while the contest for the Champions League places remains tight.
Back-to-back wins against Tottenham and Liverpool have put fourth-placed United two points behind second-placed City.
"We are one point and two points from City and Arsenal and I think we can do it," Mata told the BBC Football Focus.
"We can even be second if we win the direct games against them."
United host strugglers Aston Villa on Saturday in a 15:00 BST kick-off, before welcoming local rivals City a week on Sunday. Arsenal visit Old Trafford in the penultimate game of United's season on Sunday, 17 May.
