More pressure from the home side, who win a corner. Lacina Traore - sporting a beard one of the Billy Goats Gruff would be proud of - is the target, but Spurs stay strong and clear.

Gareth Southgate will take temporary charge of England while the FA searches for a successor. 

Those games are: 

Malta (H) 

Slovenia (A) 

Scotland (H) 

Spain (H) 

The volume level in the Arena CSKA rises as the home side drive forward down the left before the ball is hung up for Pontus Wernbloom to attack. He can't get any power on his header, though, and Spurs can clear.

A statement from Sam Allardyce: "Further to recent events, the FA and I have mutually agreed to part company.

"It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome.

"This afternoon, I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions.

"Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.

"As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard.

"I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals."

Early let off for Leicester, who are snoozing at the back. Little dink over the top, Otavio gets a march on Wes Morgan and hoops the ball over an onrushing Kasper Schmeichel. It drops wide, but the Dragons have fired an early warning.

More from the FA: "This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA's priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football. 

"The manager of the England men's senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times."

The Football Association has confirmed Sam Allardyce has left his position as England manager by mutual consent.

In a statement, the FA said: "Allardyce's conduct, as reported today, was inappropriate of the England manager. 

"He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised. However, due to the serious nature of his actions, The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect."

We are under way in Moscow. But you're probably focused on other matters right now!

The players are out in Moscow. We'll have a full game of football for you soon. You know, football? That thing where they kick a ball around on a pitch? Easy to forget.

Porto are experienced Champions League campaigners. They've been absent from the competition just three times since it was re-branded in 1992 and last won it in 2004, when Jose Mourinho was the club's manager.

There's hope for Leicester, though. The Portuguese side are without a victory in 16 games away to English sides.

"I spoke to the Football Association five minutes ago amid heightened speculation and several reports that Sam Allardyce will no longer be England manager. 

"I understand that there will be a resolution tonight and the end game is under way. 

"This story has gathered momentum and we are just awating confirmation but it would appear that his short reign is over.

"I was given the impression that Gareth Southgate is someone who England will turn to."

Andre Silva bagged a brace for Porto against Boavista in the Portuguese Liga on Friday to take his tally for the season to four goals from six league games.

The 20-year-old has been linked to some of Europe's big clubs and he could be the one the Foxes have to watch tonight.

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri on BT Sport: "When you go and play against Liverpool or Manchester United, you can lose.

"But, I'm very sad that we concede a goal and lose our way. Why? Now we have to react.

The fans want to see their team fight and do their best. We have to show desire and say 'hey, we're here, we can do this.'"

In between all the speculation about Sam Allardyce's future as England manager, there is of course Champions League action tonight. Fifteen minutes until kick off.

This is what the official account from the Daily Telegraph is reporting...

Tottenham are second in the Premier League but after the defeat against Monaco, the Argentine is keen for his team to pick up their first European points.

"Now we need to improve our performance, we need to win on Tuesday," he said.

"It's very important to get all three points. We know it will be a very tough game but in our minds we want to get three points."

Spurs are currently bottom of Group E, but it's still very early days.
