City take on the Tractor Boys on Saturday with a 15:00 (UK) kick-off at the Etihad Stadium.
Maresca spoke to journalists to preview the game as the boss eyes seven Premier League wins on the spin after previous successes over Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Coventry City, Manchester United, Sunderland and Liverpool.
But standing in our way is Gary O’Neil’s newly-promoted side who sit in a very healthy 10th spot after three wins in six matches including triumphs over Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Fulham.
