Two new managers will go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as Enzo Maresca faces Marco Rose for the first time.
Both face significant responsibilities; Maresca has the task of stepping into the shoes of a genius like Pep Guardiola, while Rose was appointed in April to replace Andoni Iraola. The transition on the South Coast has been smooth; Rose has inherited a team that finished sixth in the Premier League last season and secured a spot in the Europa League.
Man City aims to overtake league leaders Arsenal as soon as possible, though a clear gap between the two sides was evident in last weeks Community Shield match. The Gunners won comfortably 3-0, and Maresca described the match as a valuable learning experience for his players.
