Enzo Maresca returns to the Etihad for the first time on Saturday as his Chelsea side face Manchester City in the pick of the weekend's Premier League action.

The Italian coach spent the 2020/21 season at the club as the U23s boss and then served as Pep Guardiola's assistant in the treble-winning campaign two years later before leaving to take charge at Leicester.

He won promotion with the Foxes and then made the move to Stamford Bridge, where his impressive start means the Blues arrive in the North West in fourth – a place and two points above their hosts.

Maresca may feel he has a point to prove against his former employers, as Chelsea could not lay a glove on Man City on the opening day of the season.

The visitors have kicked on since then and put an end to their five-game winless run by beating Wolves on Monday.

Though they pulled out of their slump with a run of four wins in five games across the end of 2024 and into the new year, Man City's fragility was on show on Wednesday night as they suffered a costly defeat to PSG in the Champions League, which leaves them on course for a league phase exit.

Their recent rejuvenation looked set to continue when they scored a quickfire double just after halftime, but they collapsed again – conceding four times in a loss that will leave Maresca and Cityzens academy product Cole Palmer feeling they may never get a better chance to win at their old stomping ground.
