Pep Guardiola says it is unfair to expect Manchester City to win an unprecedented quadruple, as they bid to defend their Carabao Cup title.
City will face Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea in the showpiece at Wembley on Sunday as Guardiola, whose side are fighting on all four fronts, goes in search of a third major honour in England.
Kevin De Bruyne described City's chances of completing a clean sweep of all the domestic and European competitions on offer as "nearly impossible" - something which his manager echoes.
Asked whether he preferred his players to target a quadruple, Guardiola said: "Ask me this question in May, in April or May ask me that question and after I will tell you the answer. And I will not lie to you. But in May, in February it is impossible to talk about that.
"Kevin has said perfectly in the last press conference in Germany [ahead of victory against Schalke in the Champions League].
"The next target is the next game. Believe me how many times one team in England has won four titles in a season? Don't put pressure on our shoulders. We don't deserve it. First for the club we are, [and] for the history."
