That is all we have time for this evening, but be sure to join my IBTimes UK colleague Tony Mogan tomorrow for a second night of live Champions League coverage.
He will guide you through a Group A shootout between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain and also keep you fully up-to-date with Manchester City's tie against Borussia Monchengladbach. Celtic also entertain the mighty Barcelona in Glasgow.
Goodbye for now.
It's a much happier scenario for Leicester, who have secured their place in the first knockout phase. Porto's goalless draw in Copenhagen means that Ranieri's men go through as Group G winners.
Another tremendous milestone for the Foxes to take focus away from the fact that they currently sit just two points above the Premier League's bottom three.
"For a club like Leicester to finish top of our Champions League group is an amazing achievement," said captain Wes Morgan. It's been better than we could have imagined."
Another miserable performance from Tottenham means they are now unable to qualify for the last 16, regardless of what happens in their final match against CSKA Moscow at Wembley in two weeks' time.
Don't let that unbeaten league record fool you, Spurs are a million miles away from where they were last season and Pochettino will have a tough job to lift their spirits ahead of that difficult top-flight trip to in-form London rivals Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Real Madrid have provided an update on the injury that forced Gareth Bale's early substitution against Sporting Lisbon.
The La Liga leaders face Sporting Gijon this weekend before high-profile games against Barcelona and Dortmund. As Champions League holders, they then travel to Japan for the 2016 Fifa Club World Cup.
A flurry of goals at the Stade Louis II. Kane just draws Tottenham level from the spot after Alli is pulled down by Glik, but Monaco retake the lead 39 seconds later as a cross from Sidibe reaches Lemar at the back post.
With Trippier closing in, the French midfielder coolly slots a low effort beyond Lloris and into the far corner.
More desperately poor defending from Spurs.
Leicester are now just 45 minutes away from a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Pochettino, meanwhile, will require a sharp second-half improvement from his side if they are to escape Monaco with just one point let alone all three.
Spurs have been far too open at the back and are lucky not to be trailing at the interval.
And just how many more goals are we going to get in Dortmund?!
No shortage of drama in Monaco, where Hugo Lloris has just saved a penalty from Falcao awarded after Eric Dier's foolish foul on Fabinho.
Tottenham should have taken an early lead after Alli released Son with a perfect through-ball, but the South Korean forward lost his composure and was pushed wide by Danijel Subasic.
An early goal at the King Power, where Leicester have taken another huge step towards qualification for the last 16.
Christian Fuchs thunders down the left wing after Jamie Vardy is felled on the halfway line. He eventually provides a near-post cross that Okazaki expertly hooks over goalkeeper Ludovic Butelle with his left foot.
Defending Belgian champions Club Brugge, fourth in the Jupiler Pro League after former Middlesbrough and Burnley striker Jelle Vossen's 95th-minute penalty secured a 1-0 win at Sint-Truiden on Friday night, are without suspended midfielder Ruud Vormer and injured striker Abdoulay Diaby.
Michel Preud'homme's side are rooted to the bottom of Group G and have yet to pick up a single point in the Champions League this term. They have scored just one goal in their four games so far and shipped 10.
Claudio Ranieri's solitary change comes in midfield, where Andy King is preferred to Daniel Amartey.
Record signing Islam Slimani remains out with a groin problem. Long-term absentees Kasper Schmeichel, Ben Chilwell and Nampalys Mendy are also still sidelined, but Leonardo Ulloa is deemed fit enough for a place on the bench.
It's all over in Moscow, where Tottenham have been handed a small lifeline courtesy of that late Natcho penalty. Such a result means that only a defeat tonight would see them eliminated from contention.
If they go on to draw, then they will have to beat CSKA at Wembley on 7 December and hope that Leverkusen do not win at home to Monaco.
CSKA, we should mention, can now officially no longer qualify for the knockout stages.
Monaco, currently second in Ligue 1 and averaging three goals a game having scored 39 in 13 matches, name Joao Moutinho as a substitute. The Portuguese international, who has admitted that he was minutes away from signing for Tottenham back in August 2012, has been absent for a month with an injury sustained in a 1-1 draw at CSKA Moscow.
Winger Nabil Dirar misses tonight's match due to undisclosed family reasons.
It's certainly a strong-looking bench for Tottenham tonight, with Moussa Sissoko involved again after a three-match domestic ban for violent conduct.
Summer signing Georges-Kevin NKoudou is also listed among the substitutes. Young duo Josh Onomah and Cameron Carter-Vickers both drop out of the matchday squad altogether.
Tottenham are without Toby Alderweireld, Ben Davies and Erik Lamela tonight, although Mousa Dembele, Dele Alli and Harry Kane all feature from the off.
Pochettino had asserted in yesterday's pre-match press conference that the influential trio, who have all dealt with injury problems over recent weeks, would need to be assessed to determine if they were fit enough to start.
The Argentine understandably has one eye firmly fixed on a third consecutive Premier League London derby clash against Chelsea this weekend.
Spurs make four changes in total from that last-gasp 3-2 win over West Ham United on Saturday evening, with Kieran Trippier given the nod over Kyle Walker at right-back.
Kevin Wimmer partners Eric Dier in central defence with Jan Vertonghen the bench, while Alli replaces Christian Eriksen. Heung-Min Son comes back into the attack at the expense of Vincent Janssen.
As we mentioned, things look far rosier for Leicester. The unbeaten Foxes, who languish 14th in the Premier League following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Watford in which they conceded after just 33 seconds, currently top Group G after three wins and a draw.
They should be very confident of picking up the point they need tonight, having eased past Brugge 3-0 in September thanks largely to a brace from Riyad Mahrez. That was the club's first ever match at this level.
Leverkusen, second in Group E going into this evening, currently lead CSKA 1-0 in Russia courtesy of a first Champions League goal from Kevin Volland.
The permutations for Tottenham are actually quite simple. If the Bundesliga outfit maintain/add to their lead in the final 25 minutes or else are held to a draw, then Mauricio Pochettino's side MUST beat Monaco in order to keep their knockout hopes alive.
Anything less than a victory would render them unable to advance from the group stage.
Good evening and a very warm welcome to IBTimes UK's live coverage of Champions League matchday five, where Tottenham Hotspur, currently third in Group E having collected just four points from as many matches, travel to the Stade Louis II needing to beat an in-form and prolific Monaco side in order to avoid a premature exit.
In the East Midlands, meanwhile, Leicester City entertain Club Brugge hoping to put their league struggles to one side and continue an impressive debut showing in Europe's elite club competition that has left them needing just one point from their final two games to qualify for the last 16.
Those two fixtures will be our main focus tonight, although there are plenty of other storylines around the continent including Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional return to boyhood club Sporting Lisbon with Real Madrid in Group F.
Stay tuned for breaking team news, match previews and confirmed lineups. We will also have live minute-by-minute updates after seven of this evening's eight games get underway at 19.45 GMT.
We are already into the second half of CSKA Moscow's clash with Bayer Leverkusen, but more on that, and crucially how it affects Spurs' hopes of qualification, to come shortly...
