I think Manchester City has the possibility to do this."They as a club are very strong, they have a squad with great players, and they want to invest, to improve the situation. There are a lot of things right, in the right place. "We try to finish this season in the best possible way. To look at the future is not right, we are struggling a lot this season and we must try to finish in the best position possible in the league and try to reach the final [of the FA Cup]. Our focus must be on the present." Chelsea are eight points off fourth-place Tottenham, but Spurs' draw at Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday opened the door for Conte's men to close the gap in the race for Champions League qualification. And the former Juventus coach insists his team will battle to the end.He added: "We have to try until the end to reach this target. If we want to be realistic, with five games to go, it's not simple to reduce the gap. But we must have the will to fight, the desire to try to make this target. Why not?"We have a really important game against Burnley, a really strong team. They are having a fantastic season and it won't be easy to get three points."</blockquote>
