Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola concedes the Carabao Cup isn't a priority.
City meet Tottenham in the Cup on Sunday.
Guardiola said: "The Champions League is close and the Premier League is not over.
"They are more important and we have an eye on them. Tottenham are looking at qualifying [for Europe] and they need a title. Their commitment will be tough.
"They have outstanding quality, but of course, it's a final and everyone wants to win it – and we are not an exception."
