Maresca expects another tough Brighton test

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has warned his team to expect no let-up when they face Brighton in the Premier League this Saturday at the Etihad Stadium. The match follows a dramatic League Cup quarter-final on Wednesday, where City reached the next round by defeating the Seagulls on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Maresca noted that Brighton is in a "brilliant moment," characterized by winning games and scoring many goals. According to Free Malaysia Today, Maresca observed that Brighton has played with a "front foot, man to man" approach in their Premier League games against Arsenal, Crystal Palace, and Liverpool. While both managers made 16 changes during their recent cup tie, they are expected to return to full-strength sides for the upcoming league match.

Currently, table-toppers Manchester City are level on points with champions Arsenal. Third-placed Brighton remains five points behind the leaders.
