Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Monaco's trip to Besiktas in the early Champions League game. Team news is on the way.

Good defending from Monaco as Quaresma gets down the right and sends in another dangerous delivery. Babel picks it up but gets tackled just before he shoots and Ozyakup suffers the same fate. Monaco hanging in there.

More whistling as Quaresma is taking down by Jorge after flicking the ball past him.

He gets up and receives the ball form the free-kick, sending in a dangerous ball from the right. It eludes both Babel and Tosun. But only just.

Lemar goes on a weaving run and eventually gets brought down. It's a fair tackle though.

Down the other end Besiktas fans are furious as Tosun is penalised for a foul on Glik.

And they force Fabri into a good save! It's a good ball in from Lemar and it's flicked towards goal by Tielemans.

Fabri does well to parry it away.

Now Monaco win a corner. Chance for them with the likes of Glik up from the back.

Now Lemar is down having collided with Hutchinson.

Like Lopes he doesn't get up quickly but he's okay.

Lopes looks to try and burst forward but Adriano puts in a crunching challenge to stop him. It takes a while for Lopes to get back up but he'll be okay.

Monaco's tactics are clear here. They want to try and catch Besiktas on the break. Keita will be crucial.

More showboating as Ozyakup nearly gets in when he plays a one-two with Tosun.

Tosun's back-heel was intercepted.

Now a free-kick for Besiktas following a handball by Moutinho. The delivery is cleared.

Lovely flowing move from Besiktas as they play out from the back.

A wonderful inter-change of passes ends with Gonul's cross being cleared.

Tosun then tries to get in but he gives away a corner.

I know I've mentioned it already but the atmosphere in this stadium is truly remarkable. Without a doubt one of the best in Europe.

Monaco's first break forward is called back for offside.

The corner is cleared by Raggi but Tosic nearly gets a header away at goal when the ball is sent back in. Quaresma's corner from the other side is cleared.

And we are under way.

Besiktas in their white and black Monaco in red and white.

Great early pressure from Besiktsa to force a corner in the first minute.

The noise in the stadium is absolutely incredible.

Right we're around five minutes away from kick-off.

What are your predictions for this one?

And who could forget the sound of the summer.

The Besiktas fans are pretty noisy...

Here's a reminder of how things stand in Group G.

Besiktas are in total control whereas Monaco need a win to keep their hopes alive.

Subasic, Raggi, Jemerson, Glik, Jorge, Moutinho, Fabinho, Tielemans, Lemar, Keita, Lopes.

No change from the weekend for Monaco.
