With more than a third of the league yet to play, Spurs away looking like your trickiest remaining fixture, and United growing in confidence and self-belief almost with every passing game, I'd say it's no longer a far away, unmentionable pipe dream, but a very distinct possibility.
Five points isn't a massive difference, even if Arsenal do have a game in hand. The Gunners have dropped more points in their last 5 games alone. Just one win (plus goal difference) off City, who still look some way off their best, and those two still have to face each other too.
You'll have a chance to rest a few players in the FA Cup fixture against West Ham - going out of that one really wouldn't be a disaster. Arsenal play twice before your next fixture; if they drop more points in either of those, then both Manchester sides will really be smelling blood.
Anyway, Cup final beckons now. I suppose that's the immediate concern. Think you'll be fine as long as you don't lose your heads. Only problem is it's the Saudis though, so that last point is by no means a given.
League title push - why not?

In my lifetime we've never not won a trophy when the year ends in '3'.

Yes, 83 FA Cup as well. Brighton in the final this year as well, perhaps.

Seen some links with Rasmus Højlund of Atalanta this morning.
I know nothing of him though. Does anyone here know anything?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've watched him a grand total of once (about a couple of weeks ago), but I'd never heard of him before then and he was the stand-out player in the match. It was a 0-2 away win against Lazio. He was very energetic, frighteningly quick, nearly scored from a run that burst through the entire Lazio defence, and nicely involved in Atalanta's play. Got the goal he deserved in the second half.
Certainly one to watch, but I think he's still quite raw and he wouldn't be the player you'd bring in to lead the line at this stage. Definitely wouldn't be against it as an understudy if we were selling Martial and looking for two centre forwards in the summer though (or intending to play Rashford there as first choice).

(Sir) Rasmus Højlund of Atalanta has quite an aristocratic ring to it.
