The Toon have a game in hand and are breathing down the Gunners’ necks after closing the gap to three points.
But the Emirates men have a better goal difference and Gibbs is adament Arsenal’s future is still in their own hands.
He said: “We shouldn’t lose focus now.
“We have nine points to win, and we have a position to secure for next season. We must do that.
“It has been tight all season. A lot of teams are competing and anything can happen.
“We have to finish the season strongly.
“The way we see it is that if we win our three games then we secure our position. We have three cup finals left to play.”
Arsenal were held at home to Chelsea on Saturday — and with a trip to Stoke up next, Bacary Sagna admits they must improve.
He added: “Against Chelsea we struggled to pass the ball as we are used to.
“We weren’t with the ball as much and we struggled to create chances.
“But at least we did not lose and we kept a clean sheet so we have to look forward to the next game.
“We want to qualify for the Champions League and we want to finish third. It won’t be easy, but we want to do it.
“Everyone wants to qualify for the Champions League.
“It will be down to us, we have our destiny in our own hands.”
