What's the latest?

The Briton heads into tonight’s race as favourite to take gold having already won the 10,000m - Great Britain's only medal of the championships so far - to defend the title he won in 2013 and 2015.

He finished second in Thursday's 5,000m heat in 13 minutes 30.18 seconds, behind Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha.

What’s been said?

"Those boys are coming for me - they are hungry," said Farah.

"You could see in the heat, they wanted to prove a point and show me."

He added: "The 10k did take a lot out of me and I'm a little beaten up but I'm okay. The knee's alright, the body is a bit tired - that's all.”

Mo Farah to win gold: 2/5
