Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits their target is now the top four after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Fernandinho's 90th-minute own goal ensured the Eagles claimed a draw at Etihad Stadium in a remarkable conclusion to the game.
The result leaves champions City 13 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who have two games in hand and play Manchester United on Sunday.
Two Sergio Aguero goals in the last 10 minutes had turned a thrilling contest on its head - and looked set to earn City victory - after Cenk Tosun had given the Eagles a first-half lead.
"We did everything to win the game and unfortunately in the end we lost two points because we could not stop the counter attack," said the City boss.
"But we have to continue, there are still a lot of games to play. We have to try to secure the place for the Champions League next season."
