Brighton midfielder Gilmour: Marseille will be tough, tough game

Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour says they'll play to win tonight against Olympique Marseille.

A win will see Brighton finish as top of their Europa League group, but defeat will see them move into the round of 16 playoffs.

“It's going be a tough, tough game," said Gilmour. “They're a good team with good players, but we are confident in ourselves. We've been working this week on Marseille and I think it will be a good match and hopefully we can put the game plan right and get the job done.

“Is it an advantage having to win the game? We go into every game trying to win and tomorrow there's no point drawing.

“I think the first two games was a difficult experience but when we went to Marseille, it kind of clicked. We knew what we had to do to perform at this level and I think the two Ajax games as well were really good for us with two wins and clean sheets.

“There's not been an easier game in this competition so for us to kick on and keep learning and keep improving and hopefully we can go as far as we can in the competition."
