Sunday's 2-1 win at West Ham pulled the Gunners level on points with fourth-placed Southampton, despite suffering their worst ever start to a Premier League season
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger remains fully confident of a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
The Gunners climbed to fifth with a 2-1 win at West Ham and are involved in a fierce battle for the Champions League qualifying spots, with Sunday's oppponents, Southampton and Tottenham in the mix.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United currently lead the chase but Wenger sees no reason why Arsenal will not once again finish in the top four.
"We have done it for 17 years, so we are entitled to the belief that we can do it," the Frenchman told reporters. "It's all to do because, when you look at the league, everyone is fighting very hard for it.
"Southampton, Tottenham, Manchester United, so many teams who can fight for these positions. I have always had that belief [that a top-four finish is possible] but it's far from done.
"We just want to win the next game and be consistent in our performances. We were just caught by Liverpool [2-2] in the last minute and [on Sunday] we won away from home.
"If you look at our recent results, we look to be more stable. We have a big game in front of us now against Southampton with nobody coming back.
"The players who played [on Sunday] have given their all and now we need to recover and prepare for the Southampton game."
