Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié insists the Gunners are solely focused on winning Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, dismissing concerns about the match's impact on the Premier League title race. With Arsenal holding a nine-point lead at the top of the table, the Wembley showdown represents their first opportunity for silverware this season.

Hincapié told reporters he's unaware of how the result might affect the title race, emphasizing instead that the team is 'very focused on wanting to win it.' The Ecuadorian center-back stressed the importance of training hard to reach the final in peak condition, describing it as 'a very important final.' This marks the second meeting between the teams this campaign after a September draw at the Emirates.

Arsenal's quadruple ambitions remain alive following a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen that secured Champions League quarterfinal qualification. Hincapié expressed mixed emotions about eliminating his former club but celebrated reaching the last eight. The Gunners' all-conquering form has seen them remain unbeaten in Europe while maintaining their domestic dominance, setting up a crucial test against City before the international break.
