Mesut Ozil (left) and Aaron Ramsey (right) have returned from injury to boost Arsenal's chances[GETTY]Arsenal can extend their lead over the fifth-placed Toffees to four points with a win at home to Newcastle tonight (8pm).
And with Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey back from injury, Giroud is as confident as ever that Arsene Wenger's side will finish in the top four.
Giroud praised the Arsenal duo, citing Ramsey's performance against Hull during their 3-0 win last time out as key to the team.
"We were waiting to get some players back so it's always nice to see them back in good form," Giroud said.
"Aaron is important right now, I think. [With] Mesut, we will need him again and maybe he will need another full game to feel pretty good on the pitch.

"But Aaron played a great game at Hull, he's in amazing form, he's in really efficient form in front of goal. We will need everyone from now until the end of the season and it's good news for us."
Giroud is aware that Everton are not yet out of the race for the top four, but is confident Arsenal can see them off to qualify for Europe's elite club competition.
"We know that Everton will be here until the end, so we just have to keep focused on our performance and our game," the France international added.
"We know that if we win every single game, then we have the destiny in our own hands, so we have to do the job and win these games.
"Everton will not leave us alone until the end. It will be an exciting finish."
