Keita, who has slipped back onto the pitch without me noticing, can't react quickly enough as a tired pass is played behind him, and it dribbles out for a throw on the halfway line.
90' +3
Aguilar is unlucky not to win a free-kick by the touchline with Bernat pulling his shirt, before the Monaco sub is penalised for a foul of his own.
90' +2
Brilliant from Neymar! He flicks the ball over Bakayoko by the left touchline then tears past Henrichs before firing a cross in, but the ball just won't come down for Cavani and the chance eventually comes to nothing.
90' +1
Five minutes of added time.
88'
F. Ballo-Touré gets yellow.
Ballo-Toure is booked for a foul on Neymar.
Good save Navas! Golovin's corner from the left is flicked towards goal by Slimani at the near post, but he swats it over the bar with an outstretched hand. The second corner is cleared more easily.
87'
Fabregas and Slimani link up well inside the PSG penalty area, but then the former cuts out a ball from the latter which wasn't intended for him and the chance goes begging. Monaco had another man over on the far side of the area, and Fabregas didn't see him.
Meunier blocks a fierce low shot from Bakayoko, which looks bound for the bottom-left corner. Or rather, it hits him.
86'
E. Cavani enters the game and replaces M. Icardi.
PSG follow suit with their third switch of the evening, Icardi making way for Cavani.
85'
Adrien Silva enters the game and replaces W. Ben Yedder.
Monaco make their final change, midfielder Silva coming on for goalscorer Ben Yedder.
84'
T. Bakayoko gets yellow.
Bakayoko is booked for a foul on Neymar, who writhes around in agony after throwing himself to the ground under minimal contact. Knock that one off your bingo cards, folks.
Minute
Description
83'
Mbappe fires in a low cross from the left, but a Monaco defender just gets his boot to it with Neymar and Icardo lurking. Can they weather this storm through to full-time?
82'
R. Aguilar enters the game and replaces Gelson Martins.
Martins has already limped off on the far touchline, and Monaco get back up to their full complement as Aguilar comes on in his place.
80'
Pablo Sarabia enters the game and replaces Á. Di María.
L. Paredes enters the game and replaces M. Verratti.
Tuchel makes a change in midfield, as Paredes replaces Verratti.
Make that a double change for PSG. Sarabia comes on for Di Maria.
79'
It's all PSG at the moment. Di Maria scoops a cross in from the left with the outside of his foot, but Icardi can't latch onto it ahead of a covering defender. The Argentine has hardly had a touch tonight.
77'
Neymar drives at the defence, slaloming around two red and white shirts but having the ball nicked off his toe by a third. Icardi then does well to flick on a ball over the top to the Brazilian, but Maripan is alive to the danger and hacks it clear.
76'
Good save from Lecomte! Mbappe gets the ball at the left corner of the area, stopping completely still before flashing a right-footed shot towards the far corner in the blink of an eye. The Monaco keeper does well to tip it round the post.
75'
Mbappe looks to jink his way in between two defenders at the left side of the area, but Glik gets a foot in and puts it behind for a corner, which is cleared.
73'
PSG come forward straight away, but the ball is just bundled away from Mbappe as he looked to use his pace to get in behind down the left channel.
70'
I. Slimani has scored a goal for Monaco!
GOAL! 3-3, Slimani! Well, well! He sticks the ball in the back of the net after Martins turns Verratti inside out at the edge of the area, but the flag goes up as his shot deflects into the substitute's path. There's a lengthy VAR check, and the goal is given. I'm thoroughly confused about it, because he looked about a yard off to me!
69'
The corner from the right is cleared by Bernat, but Monaco get the ball back and fire another cross in from the right. It's put behind for another corner, which is cleared again. Monaco get the ball back again. The cycle continues.
68'
Slimani shows his worth as a targetman, flicking the ball round the corner for Martins to play a one-two off him and win a corner.
67'
Some excellent clowning around from Keita, standing directly in front of Meunier on the touchline as he attempted to take a throw-in inside his own half. Absolutely nothing to gain from that, and the referee has to tell him to stop. Brilliant stuff.
65'
I. Slimani enters the game and replaces Cesc Fàbregas.
First change of the night comes from Monaco, and it's an attacking one. Big man up top Slimani comes on for diminutive midfielder Fabregas - the on-loan Leicester man has six goals in 12 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season.
63'
Patient stuff again from PSG, working the ball from side to side, and going back to defence when there isn't a pass on. It's a more measured approach than in the first half, but they're holding onto possession a lot better and limiting Monaco's counter-attacking potential as a result.
61'
Oh deary me. PSG work the ball from side to side well, eventually finding Meunier in space to the right of the penalty area. He has targets in the box, but shanks his cross out for a throw-in on the other side.
60'
This time Neymar picks the right option, picking the ball up in midfield and taking it forward for Mbappe. He darts infield the right-back Henrichs and shoots from the edge of the area but it deflects over for a corner, which is easily cleared.
58'
Neymar was playing well in the first half, but he's looking like an imposter in a Neymar mask so far since the break. An admittedly difficult ball is fired over towards him from right to left, but he doesn't come close to controlling it.
55'
Bernat crosses from deep on the left, looking for Icardi. The ball floats over his head and is dealt with by the Monaco defence.
53'
Meunier steps out of defence to win the ball just inside his own half before laying it on to Mbappe, but again Neymar gives the ball away soon after. He hasn't found his touch since the break.
52'
Gueye puts in a good, robust challenge on Golovin as he attempts to carry the ball down the left touchline.
51'
It's a corner straight off the training ground, but the execution is poor. With bodies massing around the goalmouth, Golovin pulls the corner back to Fabregas, darting back out to the edge of the area - but the delivery is heavy, and the Spaniard can't control it.
50'
Monaco win the first corner of the second half, Martins' cross from the right deflecting behind off Bernat.
49'
Bakayoko tries his luck from range, but pulls a right-footed shot wide to the left of goal.
48'
PSG already look to be building their attacks with a little more patience in the second half, guarding against the counter-attacks which were a theme of the first. Neymar gives the ball away with a loose touch as he attempts to flick a pass on to Mbappe.
47'
Neymar looks to chop inside from the left but Martins nicks the ball off his foot, and Monaco counter. They're held up at the edge of the area, and eventually send the ball back to rebuild from defence.
45' +4
HALF-TIME: PSG 3-2 MONACO
45' +2
Monaco are ruing that Keita chance after 20 minutes right now - which, after seeing it again, was a properly brilliant save from Navas - will PSG be made to regret the two opportunities that Mbappe has spurned?
45'
We're back underway, Monaco getting the ball rolling for the second half. No changes in personnel for either side at the break.
43'
Now, at last, the game slows down for a moment as PSG hold onto possession. They're looking to carry this lead into half-time.
42'
Penalty goal scored by Neymar for PSG!
GOAL! PSG lead 3-2! Neymar ambles up, gives it the Simone Zaza feet and strokes the penalty right-footed into the bottom-left corner. Lecomte goes the other way.
39'
Ticking towards half-time, and neither side looks like they want to take a breather. Mbappe tries some quick feet at the left corner of the area, but Henrichs stands his ground well.
37'
A low corner from the right does make its way through to a Monaco shirt, but a reflex shot is scuffed well wide.
36'
Verratti does well to skip away from Bakayoko but Fabregas and Golovin combine well to block his path and rob the ball. The latter receives it again at the edge of the area and curls a right-footed shot towards the bottom-right corner, but Navas gets down smartly to tip it round the post.
34'
Neymar goes down in a heap after a slightly odd, and admittedly fairly physical challenge from Glik. The big defender sort of stretched out a leg and then bundled him over it. Play is ready to restart but the Brazilian is still writhing around at the edge of the area for a moment, though no physios are forthcoming. Bit awkward, honestly.
32'
Martins holds onto the ball well to the right of the penalty area. Golovin comes across to give him some support and looks to cut inside and shoot, but his left-footed effort is immediately charged down. The angle never really presented itself there, it would have taken some strike to find the target.
30'
Golovin does well to win a corner on the left, knocking the ball off Meunier as he looked to have run out of options by the touchline.
29'
Fabregas finds Martins on the right, drifting infield before darting back outside Bernat and firing in a low cross, which is intercepted and cleared by Silva. The Monaco wingers have been very direct with the ball at their feet so far tonight, and it's shown the PSG defence up more than once.
28'
The free-kick is wasted. Di Maria overhits it straight into the arms of Lecomte.
27'
Mbappe looks as if he might be alright. It was his standing leg that jolted at the knee, and it clearly gave him a shock - but he's back on and running now. Martins welcomes him back to the fray by fouling him on the PSG left, in a dangerous crossing position.
24'
F. Ballo-Touré is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOAL! PSG are level at 2-2, it's a horribly unfortunate own goal from Ballo-Toure! Gueye and Di Maria combine to present Neymar with an opportunity at the left side of the area. He cuts onto his right foot and shoots, and it cannons in off the inside of the post via a big deflection off the defender's foot. It happened very quickly, there wasn't a lot he could do about it.
19'
PSG's big three combine. Neymar backheel-flicks a pass up in the air for Mbappe to head on to Icardi, but the Argentine is well offside. His chip shot looped onto the top of the net anyway.
18'
Martins does really well in the right-back position, robbing Bernat of the ball and then knocking it round him to run it clear.
17'
Meunier bends in a good-looking cross from the right, but Glik reads it well and makes a clearing header in front of Icardi.
16'
Neymar rushes to take the corner quickly, but has to wait a moment for his team-mates to ready themselves. It's headed away easily enough.
15'
PSG win a free-kick, about 25 yards out on the left. Neymar hits it right-footed towards the top-left corner, and draws a pretty good save from Lecomte.
13'
W. Ben Yedder has scored a goal for Monaco! Assist by K. Baldé.
GOAL! Monaco have turned it around, Ben Yedder makes it 2-1! Straight from the throw-in on the left, just inside the Monaco half, they break through Golovin and then Keita. Keita plays a simple square ball to Ben Yedder at the edge of the area and the forward takes a touch around one defender before finishing right-footed, back across the keeper and into the bottom-left corner.
Keita gets the assist for a good run and simple pass for Ben Yedder to finish off.
12'
Verratti and Gueye exchange passes in midfield before looking to release the latter on a burst down the right, but Ballo-Toure gets across well to stop him.
11'
Credit has to go to Monaco here. Going behind so early, you feared the worst for them but they've responded very well.
10'
K. Baldé gets yellow.
It's all happening now! Keita goes down inside the area and screams for a penalty, but is booked for diving instead! He went down by Verratti, but there wasn't any real touch on him - good call from referee Antony Gautier.
7'
Gelson Martins has scored a goal for Monaco! Assist by W. Ben Yedder.
Bakayoko gives away a simple pass in midfield, where Monaco really can't afford to be losing the ball. As soon as they do, it's fizzed into one of PSG's attacking quartet. This time, the offside flag saves the away side but the threat is there for all to see.
GOAL! 1-1, Martins levels the scores! It comes a little out of nowhere as a shot isn't cleared at the edge of the area. Fabregas lifts a delicious pass in behind for Ben Yedder who is wiped out by Navas, but Martins is there to sweep the ball into the empty net at close range.
Ben Yedder gets the assist for flicking on Fabregas' pass, before Navas cleaned him out.
5'
Monaco put their foot on the ball and knock it round in their own half for a while. Not the worst idea to get a foothold in the game, but PSG aren't afraid to press high up.
4'
I'm not sure what Moreno said to his Monaco team before kick-off, but it's hard to imagine 'just let Neymar do his thing without interruption' was a big part of his pre-match team talk.
3'
Neymar has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by M. Verratti.
GOAL! 1-0 PSG, Neymar, easy as you like! Verratti lifts a simple pass over the defence for Neymar down the left, and nobody seems to be tracking him. He's got all the time in the world to take it down, let it bounce - twice to be sure - and hammer it in at the near post.
Verratti gets the assist for a nicely weighted pass, scooped over the Monaco defence.
2'
Almost an early chance for PSG as they get bodies forward - they always do - but the ball is fizzed into Mbappe's feet with such venom that it bounces well out of his control.
1'
Well, we're slightly behind schedule after an extended spell of waiting around for PSG to get a shift on in the tunnel, but we're off! The home side get the ball rolling.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this huge clash from Ligue 1, as Thomas Tuchel’s Paris Saint-Germain host Robert Moreno’s Monaco.
PSG are four points clear at the top of the table, with two games in hand over second-placed Marseille. Monaco started the day ninth but with games in hand over the teams around them, could mount a challenge towards the top four with a shock win here at Parc des Princes.
PSG (4-2-2-2): Keylor Navas; Juan Bernat, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Thomas Meunier; Marco Verratti, Idrissa Gueye; Neymar, Angel Di Maria; Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi.
SUBS: Sergio Rico, Presnel Kimpembe, Colin Dagba, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler, Pablo Sarabia, Edinson Cavani.
MONACO (4-3-3): Benjamin Lecomte; Fode Ballo-Toure, Guillermo Maripan, Kamil Glik, Benjamin Henrichs; Aleksandr Golovin, Cesc Fabregas, Tiemoue Bakayoko; Keita Balde, Wissam Ben Yedder, Gelson Martins.
SUBS: Seydou Sy, Ruben Aguilar, Benoit Badiashile, Gil Dias, Adrien Silva, Islam Slimani, Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The teams are on their way out of the tunnel, and we’re just moments away from kick-off.
Looking forward to the second half, you'd have to say the likeliest winner is the team that defends more competently. The attacking play has been scintillating at times, but there has been some heinous stuff from the two back lines.
They'll be disappointed with a draw at home, but PSG still lead Ligue 1 by five points with a game in hand over second-placed Marseille. Monaco edge up to eighth, three points shy of the top four with a game in hand.
That's it from me here tonight, I hope you've enjoyed following along. Until the next time, au revoir!
