"The first thing we have to do is look at our own performances, but obviously we still want to know how the teams around us are doing," he said.
"I know Everton have games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, so hopefully if they drop points that will give us a chance to close the gap and reach our target.
"We've been in this situation for the last two years when it went to the final week of the season and we don't want to do that again.
"You never know what can happen in the final stages so we want to get in the top four as soon as possible. We know it won't be easy. Everton are playing well, but all we can do is keep winning our games.
"I hope our experiences over the last few years will help us."
