Marseille vs Brighton LIVE: Seagulls set for first-ever European away game after Aston Villa humiliation – kick-off time, team news and how to follow
Brighton will travel to face Marseille in their first-ever European away game this Thursday evening.
The Seagulls got their Europa League campaign underway against AEK Athens two weeks ago, but the occasion was spoilt as the visitors came away 3-2 winners.
