RUBEN DIAS has told his Manchester City teammates to forget about the title race, and focus on beating Arsenal.

And Dias reckons Pep Guardiola's men have worked out how to get the better of their bitter rivals in today's Carabao Cup Final at Wembley.

The stakes are high when the two best teams in England clash in the capital this afternoon.

Arsenal can win an unprecedented Quadruple haul of trophies. City can still capture a domestic Treble.

Not to mention landing a huge physiological blow in the title race.

Arsenal have a nine point lead there, but City have a game in hand, and host Arsenal in the Prem on April 19, when there could be a chance to reduce the deficit to just three points.

But 28-year-old Dias insists this is not the time for his side to be thinking too far ahead.
