Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has set his sights on a top ten finish for the Eagles if and when the Premier League returns.
The Eagles currently sit 11th in the top flight, having won three games in a row prior to the suspension of professional football last month.
That run of form moved Palace on to 39 points and clear of the threat of relegation, with the Eagles now just six points behind Manchester United in fifth place.
But while the Eagles may now be in mid-table, Hodgson insists that Palace are not done yet and want a strong finish to the season, with the south London side not far away from those teams challenging for a European spot.
“Well, I give the cliched answer, if you are a football coach or a football player, there is always something to play for, it is what keeps us going," he said, speaking to Sky Sports programme The Football Show.
“Sometimes you wake up dreading the game ahead, but you still wake up longing for it, and that is what keeps you going.
“What keeps you going through the training sessions, all the hard work and the preparation is the fact that at the end we have got a game to look forward to, so I think that’s the major crux of the matter.
“Everyone in football would agree that if all goes well, we would like to finish the season.
“We have still got plenty to play for, we are level tenth, I know we are 11th, but I prefer to say level tenth in the number of points, so we have got something to play for.
“I don’t know about a UEFA [Europa League] spot, but certainly if we could get into the top ten and cement our position there, it would make it an even better season for us.”
Meanwhile, Hodgson has said he cannot wait for the time when the players and staff are allowed back at the training ground, with Palace targeting a return to Beckenham next month, depending on the government restrictions.
He said: "The ideal contact will come when we can all meet up at the training ground in whatever form that's likely to take - any other form of contact isn't comparable.
"A telephone contact or a Zoom contact - it's nice to see the players are taking their work so seriously and working very hard to stay fit during this time. But it's not ideal that form of contact and I think I speak for everyone in football in saying I can't wait for the time when we see them again in a training environment."
