Enzo Maresca explains how Manchester City will attempt to catch Arsenal in title race

Enzo Maresca believes the November international break will benefit Manchester City as they seek to regroup and close a six-point gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal. City enter the hiatus following a 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, marking their third consecutive domestic league loss after earlier defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton.

Maresca noted that his squad failed to match Forest's intensity at the City Ground, where Liam Delap scored twice and Rayan Cherki netted for City. Despite the slump following seven opening wins, Maresca insisted the three defeats were different in nature and emphasized that City must improve their duel intensity to return to winning ways.
