Maresca on O'Reilly return, derby being 'different' for Foden and Fernandez

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford (kick-off 16:30 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Nico O'Reilly is "100% available" but Jeremy Doku "needs a few more days" to return. Maresca said the Manchester derby is "important for different reasons" and is a "special" game in the city. He was asked if his side have an "advantage" given they have had two more days to rest than United: "It happened last season when the club played Napoli and played Arsenal two days later. It happened last season with us, this season with them. Next season it will happen to someone else." Maresca agreed that Phil Foden raises his game for the derby because of his Mancunian connection: "The feeling for him is probably different to rest of the players. It's normal. For him, it's a different game." Elliot Anderson described City as the "kings" of Manchester when he joined, which Maresca says is normal: "The reason why Elliot said that is because he grew up when Manchester City were unbelievable and dominant." On Enzo Fernandez's evolution under his coaching: "In the past two years with us, he has become more of an attacking midfielder. In the past, he was more deep. He is unbelievable around the box in terms of goals and assists, and also in terms of leadership." On opposition manager Michael Carrick: "He has been doing a fantastic job since last season. He took over a complicated situation, finished well and is more or less starting in the same way."
