Glenn Murray is set to return for Brighton when they host Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

But he has set his sights on domestic glory ahead of everything else, including the Champions League, and admits he is "a bit jealous" of Chelsea team-mates who have already enjoyed Premier League success.

"I prefer to be at a big club rather than playing every week in a less prestigious team and I still have targets," Giroud told The Guardian.

"I have team-mates here who have won it, so I'm a bit jealous. I want to make it happen.
