20:02 CET - Back to England, where we have an intriguing encounter coming up at 21:00 CET, as Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge for the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.

Mikel Arteta has gone for his strongest lineup aside from Kepa starting in goal against his former side, whereas Liam Rosenior - his first home game with his new side - is without Cole Palmer, Reece James and Moises Caicedo.

19:57 CET - Senegal are into the AFCON final!

It wasn't pretty, but that second-half strike from Sadio Mane was the difference between the sides as the Lions of Terranga beat Egypt 1-0 in Tanger to advance.

They will play Morocco or Nigeria in Sunday's final - that semi is coming up at 21:00 CET.

19:45 CET - As the time ticks down in Tanger, let's quickly stop in with the Serie A league leaders, Inter, who welcome Lecce to the San Siro tonight, as they look to stretch their lead at the top of the table.

Inter have won the last six encounters between the two sides, conceding just once in that time.

Can Lecce rewrite the script tonight - follow it all from 20:45 CET.

19:40 CET - We have the breakthrough! The ball falls to Senegal's talisman, Sadio Mane, on the edge of the box, and he rifles home into the bottom corner to give us something to shout about.

What can Egypt conjure to get themselves back into the semi-final?

19:36 CET - Just 15 minutes to go in normal time at AFCON, where Senegal and Egypt are continuing their phoney war on the pitch as both sides struggle to create anything clear-cut.

The Pharaohs are still yet to register a shot. Extra time, anyone?

19:32 CET - After their 8-1 demolition of Wolfsburg at the weekend, Bayern Munich return to Bundesliga action at 20:30 CET as they take on Koln away from home.

A win tonight would move Vincent Kompany's men 11 points clear at the top of the standings in a season where they have yet to lose domestically.

Will that carry on tonight? Follow it right here.

19:19 CET - Half-time in Naples, where we have had no goals between Napoli and Parma. The hosts have had the ball in the net through Scott McTominay, but his goal was ruled out for offside by VAR.

19:09 CET - St Pauli are level against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Five minutes before the break, Eric Smith has slotted home the leveller as they continue their fight against relegation. It's the Swede's first goal since August.

19:07 CET - Back underway in Tanger, and both sides have made changes at the break. Ahmed Fatouh has been replaced for Egypt by Trezeguet, whilst Senegal have brought on Lamine Camara for Habib Diarra.

18:56 CET - Our first goal of the evening has belatedly come, as Christian Eriksen scores from the spot for Wolfsburg to put them ahead against St Pauli in their Bundesliga clash.

18:49 CET - Half-time in Tanger, and it has not been the first half of football we were hoping for with Senegal and Egypt going into the break goalless.

The Lions of Terranga have had the better of the play, but apart from a few pot shots, they have rarely threatened. Egypt have threatened even less so far.

The most action we have seen has been off the pitch, when both benches cleared after a foul, but that feistiness was quickly quelled by the two managers.

Remember, you can listen to the second half with the link above.

18:31 CET - As we wait for some proper action in the AFCON semi-final, Napoli have begun their encounter against Parma, which you can follow right here.

18:23 CET - It's been a terrible five minutes for Senegal and their captain. After being shown that yellow card, Kalidou Koulibaly has now been withdrawn from the game due to injury. He has been replaced by Strasbourg's Mamadou Sarr - a huge moment for the 20-year-old.

18:18 CET - After a foul on Omar Marmoush, Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly has been booked and will miss the final if his side make it past Egypt.

A huge blow to their chances of winning AFCON.

18:10 CET - We are 10 minutes into the semi-final, and both sides are figuring each other out with Senegal having the lion's share of possession without creating anything concrete.

18:00 CET - We are underway in Tanger, remember you can listen to live coverage of the game with the link above.

17:56 CET - The anthems have been sung, we are minutes away from our first AFCON semi...

17:48 CET - Four games in the Bundesliga this evening, which starts with a tasty clash at the bottom of the table.

St Pauli, who have not played since December 21st, look to climb out of the relegation zone as they travel to Wolfsburg, who suffered a chastening 8-1 defeat to runaway league leaders Bayern on the weekend.

Follow that game from 18:30 CET.

17:36 CET - Back to the action, and after their 2-2 draw to Inter, where Scott McTominay rescued his side with two goals, Napoli face a slightly easier task tonight from 18:30 CET as they face Parma in Naples.

Their Scottish talisman is, of course, in the starting line-up, and we wouldn't bet against him getting on the scoresheet once again.

17:34 CET - Before the serious business kicks off, we have a slightly lighter story for you. As Celtic play tonight, a Flashscore fan has had the 'pleasure' of getting a tattoo following their derby defeat to Rangers recently.

17:16 CET - Here we go then, the lineups are in for the first AFCON semi-final of the day.

As expected, both Senegal and Egypt leave very little surprise with their picks as superstars Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush all start for their respective sides.

17:00 CET - Good evening, and welcome back to Flashscore's Football Tracker, where we take you through the best of the action from the biggest games.

Tonight is a huge night in Morocco, where Senegal and Egypt face off from 18:00 CET for a place in the AFCON final on Sunday.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah reunite in Tanger after their time together in Liverpool, with both players showing good form throughout the tournament.

Elsewhere, from 21:00 CET, the hosts Morocco are in action, looking to make the final in front of what will be a partisan crowd in Rabat, but they face a tough test in the form of Nigeria.

With their payment worries over, the Super Eagles have been flying during AFCON, playing arguably the best brand of football. They are now just one win away from making it back-to-back finals in this competition.

There is plenty of European football as well this evening to get your teeth into.

Both the Bundesliga and Serie A have games tonight, with Napoli facing Parma from 18:30 CET, and league leaders Inter take to the field later on tonight at home against Lecce. A win tonight could stretch their lead at the top of the table to six points.

And, finally, cup competitions take centre stage in the UK and Spain.

Liam Rosenior takes charge of his first home game as Chelsea boss, and it couldn't get much harder as London rivals Arsenal head to Stamford Bridge from 21:00 CET in their EFL Cup semi-final first leg.

Both sides beat Championship sides in the FA Cup last weekend, and given both sides rotated to progress, we expect a strong set of sides for this intriguing encounter.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid start life without Xabi Alonso after his dismissal on Monday with a tricky trip to LaLiga2 side Albacete. An upset here could cause more shockwaves around the club.
