Enzo Maresca prepares for first Manchester derby as City manager

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca faces his first Manchester derby this Sunday as the Premier League leaders travel to Old Trafford. City enters the match holding a perfect record following three consecutive wins to start the top-flight season. Despite the magnitude of the rivalry, Maresca stated he is focused on the team's standing and continued performance rather than the personal significance of his first derby as manager. Manchester United enters the match with one win in their opening three games and sits five points behind their city rivals. City has historically dominated the fixture since 2013, though they lost at Old Trafford during the previous season under Pep Guardiola. Midfielder Elliot Anderson, who recently moved to the Etihad Stadium from Nottingham Forest, noted the current dominance of Manchester City as a primary factor in the club's growth.
