Wenger’s side host Hull City Saturday (12:30 GMT) having lost four of their past nine league games.
Just five points now separate second-placed Tottenham from Manchester United in sixth.
“We’re in a pack that is very tight and the fight for every position will be massive, maybe more this season than before.
“If it is over for us, it is over for everyone else as we are all in the pack.
“Chelsea have an advantage, they do not play in Europe, they play for nothing, they do not play midweek games and are in a strong position’’ Wenger added.
