Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca says the club will use the upcoming break to try to understand the problems behind a run of three consecutive Premier League defeats.
City were beaten 3-1 away by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, following losses to Aston Villa and Brighton. They went down 2-1 at Aston Villa before suffering a 1-0 defeat by Brighton.
“We will try to work it out during the break,” Maresca said after the latest setback.
The sequence represents a sharp change in form for Manchester City, who had won seven matches in a row before losing to Aston Villa.
Despite the poor run, Manchester City remain second in the Premier League table after 10 matches. They are six points behind leaders Arsenal.
