Manchester City look to avoid their first three-game losing streak since 2016 when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in a 2023-24 English Premier League matchup on Saturday. Manchester City (6-0-2) began the defense of their third consecutive league title with six straight victories but have since dropped one-goal decisions against Wolves and Arsenal. Brighton (5-1-2) also are winless in their last two contests as they followed a 6-1 loss to Aston Villa with a 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.

Kickoff at Etihad Stadium is set for 10 a.m. ET. The Citizens are -310 favorites (risk $310 to win $100) in the latest Manchester City vs. Brighton & Hove Albion odds, while the Seagulls are +750 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +430 and the over/under for total goals scored is 3.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here.)
