Arsenal could slip to nine points behind the top spot if Chelsea win their game in hand this evening over seventh-placed Everton at Goodison Park.
With twenty games to go there is plenty of time to play catch-up, but most critics believe that a realistic ambition for the Gunners should be to concentrate on preventing Aston Villa from capturing fourth spot.
This is not a view shared by Emmanuel Adebayor, though. The leggy targetman featured in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool at the weekend, until referee Howard Webb sent the Togolese international for an early bath for collecting two yellow cards.
"We are not happy," Manu is quoted by the Times Online as saying.
"But we can be pleased with the performance. Every player has shown character and that is good.
"We just have to keep going now. Even with ten we can play good football and so with 11 we have a chance to win.
"Against Liverpool, you could say the referee took those two points away, and if you think about our own mistakes in some other games, you can see where the title could have gone.
"But at the moment, we are still there and have just to keep going."
He added: "We managed to get a point against Liverpool, who are at the top of the table with players who are playing well.
"We have to go there, they have to play Manchester United and Chelsea, too. The title is still open for everyone to win it."
Adebayor, though, is now suspended for the crucial Boxing Day fixture against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
