Arsenal defender Gabriel is refusing to concede defeat in the race for the Premier League title.
Despite lying 11 points adrift of leaders Leicester - and four behind Tottenham - with seven matches remaining, the Brazilian is convinced the Gunners can still secure their first championship in 12 years.
"First I hope we will be able to win the seven matches we have left," he toldArsenal Player. "We must focus on that and forget about the other teams and whether they're winning or losing.
"There are many surprises in the Premier League. The competition has been very difficult and is very complicated.
"The team at the top of the league have a large points difference and the big teams fluctuate a lot and they lose some games that they shouldn't lose. It's a very hard competition.
"There are still surprises but I hope that the surprises will be on the other teams and that we can win all seven games to be champions."
Arsenal have beaten Everton and Watford in their last two league matches and will be looking for a hat-trick of successes when the face West Ham at Upton Park in a lunchtime kick-off this Saturday.
