Enzo Maresca Prepares Manchester City for Brighton Clash

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has warned his team to prepare for a tough match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, following a dramatic League Cup tie where City edged Brighton on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. The match took place on Wednesday, with both teams making 16 changes and now set to revert to their full-strength sides for the upcoming league encounter on Saturday.

City currently tops the league table, level on points with Arsenal, while Brighton sits in third place, five points behind. Maresca praised Brighton's attacking form, noting their ability to score multiple goals in recent matches.

The League Cup match saw Brighton take the lead twice, with goals from Malick Yalcouye and Georginio Rutter, while Mateo Kovacic equalized for City. Despite facing over 100 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules, Maresca remains focused on winning games.

Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, expressed confidence in his team's energy for the upcoming match.
