Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has cooled talk of challenging for the title.
Trailing leaders Chelsea by 10 points, he does not realistically believe they can become a factor in the title race - but he is not ruling it out.
He said: "It should be fantastic, of course, for the fans - but our goal is ending in the first four of the league and winning the FA Cup.
"There are still 16 clubs who want that, so that shall be difficult and ending in the first four is also difficult because there are teams breathing down our necks.
"It shall be very difficult to catch Chelsea, but it is mathematically possible. So we shall try to do everything we can to win every game. We are capable of doing that.
"It is possible, but it is also difficult. If I had to bet, I would bet on Chelsea - but I am not allowed to bet."
