Claudio Ranieri has his say:
"Of course this is the last match at home in the group and we’d like to enjoy our fans of course. With one point we go to the knock-out. That is important. One step. The next step is top the group. Now, keep calm and fight together.
"I think all the matches are very problematic. Brugge is a good team. I don’t understand how they don’t have a point in the table because they play good football and they create good chances, against us and Copenhagen and Porto, but that’s football. Very strange."
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri
Five minutes from kick-off now. A reminder that'll be bringing you minute-by-minute updates of Tottenham's game against Monaco and goal updates from Leicester's showdown with Club Brugge. Stay tuned!
2 min: A scrappy start as the ball pings about inside the Monaco half with both sides trying to get a hold of play and bring some order to the opening minutes. Both struggle to get more than two passes together as possession quickly and repeatedly switches between the two.
4 min: A break for the home side as Lemar loses his man and storms down the left flank from where he pumps the ball into the box. A Tottenham head manages to divert the cross but it falls favourably on the edge of the box for Falcao. The forward can't quite bring it under control though and Dier steps in to clear the danger.
7 min: Back in Monaco, Son has just squandered a prime goal-scoring opportunity after being threaded in behind a high Monaco defence. One-on-one with Danijel Subasic, the South Korean sought to take it round the keeper inside the box but failed to get a shot off as the Croatian managed to land a hand on the ball. What an opportunity.
10 min: Penalty awarded to Monaco... and it's saved! Lloris guesses right and gets down low to his right to deny Falcao's effort from the spot. It was Fabinho who had originally been brought down after the Tottenham defence struggled to clear a cross from the left. With the ball pinging in between the box, the Brazilian eventually got hold of it but was abruptly brought down by Eric Dier who chopped at the player (making little attempt to play the before) to send him flying to the floor. A let-off for Spurs.
