Conte's side are still keen on making it to the Champions League next season and are ready to fight until the end of the season.
Arsenal and Tottenham only have the top-four race to look after for this season after both sides were knocked out of the FA Cup. While speaking with Premier League Productions, Lloris sounded confident of making a big push now and said:
"There are nine games to go. So, 27 points is a lot on the table. We need consistency. But we believe that we can do it. I think it's important to keep this ambition high and to push together. It's the international break. It's important to manage it well and get back strong, then return for the final race."

They are keen to play in the Champions League next season, and Lloris claimed he wanted to stay calm in the situation.
"It's important to stay calm in any circumstances, even if I can understand at some moments there could be some frustration. When you feel you can reach a level and in the next game you drop from that, it can be really frustrating but we are looking for consistency - the repetition of games, the repetition of results will help to improve confidence, but the quality is there, no doubt. When we have more days to prepare games, we feel more comfortable. That's an aspect we can improve in the future, but the potential is here - we know that. In football, you can lose confidence easily, that's probably what happened during the last month," he added.
Arsenal and Tottenham will face each other in the league once before the end. The date for the game that was postponed has not been announced yet.
