I have absolutely no idea if you can but there is only one way to find out!
I'm in a similar situation. I have a PB of 20.44 but am currently fitter than before. I had a great November running but then have had a lazy week following giving blood. I'm racing my brother on Christmas day and am hoping the competition will be enough to get me over the line

2018 me would offer to help pace you on an attempt but 2020 me would be a few minutes behind you.
Have a go, start at at a comfortably uncomfortable pace and be prepared to suffer... it's only 20 minutes...

Viability survey:
Can I squeeze out my 20min 5k in 2020?
PB: 20:21, this year
Recent runs:
14/12 - 5km easy
13/12 - 7.47km @ 4:34/km - felt hard
10/12 - 7km easy
2/12 - 4.7km easy
1/12 - 6x1km @ 4/km 0.5km rest between
28/11 - 4.8km easy
25/11 - wu, 4km TT, cd (managed the 4km in 16:17)
Feels like it might, just might, be in reach. I'm regretting that 8 day gap a lot.
