Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is refusing to get carried away by his sides impressive start to the season, insisting pressure can quickly increase if results begin to go against them. City continued their winning run with a 5-0 win over Championship side Norwich in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.The result was their sixth consecutive win in all competitions since losing to Arsenal in the Community Shield, giving Maresca a strong start after taking over from Pep Guardiola.However, the former Chelsea boss knows expectations at City are high.Im really happy. I said in the first press conference, for me to be in this club is a privilege and to be in this club after a legend like Pep is a privilege, Maresca said.I know if I dont win its a disaster, and its normal, but I dont spend my day thinking who was here before and for how many years.Im just here to focus on what we can do better, improve the team and trying to win games.Table of ContentsCity already planning for SundayWhere to watch Man City vs Sunderland: TV channel, live online streamPremier League fixtures this weekendFull Premier League tableCity already planning for SundayMaresca was pleased to rest players who had featured heavily in recent matches, with City having beaten Porto and Manchester United before the Carabao Cup tie.It was very important we gave rest to the ones that played back-to-back 90 minutes against Porto and United, he said.Hopefully they can be full of energy for Sundays game that will be a strong game.Maresca also suggested Samba could provide another option in attack, despite normally operating as a midfielder.We have Antoine [Semenyo] there, we can use Phil [Foden] and Rayan Cherki as a false nine. It depends on the gameplan, he added.But Floyd played here, he was good and hopefully we can give him more chances.Where to watch Man City vs Sunderland: TV channel, live online streamKick-off on Sunday is at 14:00 BST (09:00 ET / 06:00 PT), with live coverage in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Ultra.Via Now TV, Sky Sports costs �14.99 for a day membership, �27.99 a month for a 12-month membership or �34.99 a month with no contract.Heres the full list of Premier League international broadcasters.Premier League fixtures this weekendDateFixtureBST start timeETPTFri, Sept 18Brentford vs Chelsea20:0015:0012:00Sat, Sept 19Spurs vs Villa12:3007:3004:30Sat, Sept 19Everton vs Ipswich15:0010:0007:00Sat, Sept 19Brighton vs Arsenal15:0010:0007:00Sat, Sept 19Newcastle vs Hull15:0010:0007:00Sat, Sept 19Forest vs Coventry17:3012:3009:30Sun, Sept 20Bournemouth vs Liverpool14:0009:0006:00Sun, Sept 20Man City vs Sunderland14:0009:0006:00Sun, Sept 20Leeds vs Crystal Palace14:0009:0006:00Sun, Sept 20Fulham vs Man United16:3011:3008:30Full Premier League table Premier League 2026 England #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 4 1 Arsenal440081712 W W W W 2 Manchester City440082612 W W W W 3 Leeds42207348 W D D W 4 Hull City42205238 D D W W 5 Brighton421113587 W D L W 6 Chelsea421110917 D L W W 7 Brentford41307436 D D D W 8 Liverpool41306426 D W D D 9 Everton41305326 D D D W 10 Ipswich4202710-36 W L L W 11 Nottingham Forest41214405 W D D L 12 Newcastle412178-15 L D W D 13 Manchester United41127704 L D W L 14 Sunderland411235-24 L D W L 15 Bournemouth403167-13 D D D L 16 Crystal Palace4103611-53 L W L L 17 Tottenham402205-52 D D L L 18 Fulham401347-31 D L L L 19 Aston Villa401317-61 L D L L 20 Coventry4004010-100 L L L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation Championship Topics Enzo Maresca Manchester City F.C.
