Monaco vs Borussia Dortmund:

Update: The Dortmund team bus has been delayed by 20 minutes so the game will now get under way at 7.50pm. Nothing sinister to it, thank goodness.

A teamsheet from the Nou Camp...

All eyes will be surely fixed on Lionel Messi and Paulo Dybala as the two Argentines go head-to-head tonight. The latter saw his stock rise after bagging two goals against Barcelona last week and has already been tipped to fill Messi's shoes in the years to come. Another strong and rounded performance from the 23-year-old this evening will be vital to Juventus' hopes of seeing off their opponents and reaching the last four of Europe.
