Leicester City vs Arsenal - LIVE!
The Gunners maintained their 100% start to the new season with a Carabao Cup victory at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.
Christian Fuchs netted an own goal after fine work from Nicolas Pepe before Eddie Nketiah struck late for the second time in as many matches to secure Arsenal's place in round four.
That is now three wins from three in 2020-21 for Mikel Arteta's side, who will face either Lincoln or Liverpool next.

Team news
Mikel Arteta is expected to make a number of changes to the side that beat West Ham last time out.
The Spaniard could be set to hand debuts to Runar Alex Runarsson, who joined Arsenal on Monday, and William Saliba, who is being slowly integrated into first-team action.
After his Hammers heroics, Eddie Nketiah is expected to lead the line, with Reiss Nelson and Nicolas Pepe also likely to have their chance to impress.
In defence, Cedric Soares will be hoping to make his first appearance of the season, while Joe Willock is likely to get a start in central midfield.

Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Arsenal
Though this is an extremely difficult tie to call, Arsenal have been impressive in the way they've managed to get the job done of late.
They were perhaps less than fantastic against West Ham last time out, before substitute Nketiah nicked a winner five minutes from time.
Expect a tight affair - one which could go either way - but I think Arsenal will just take it.

William Saliba and Alex Runarsson are both only on the bench tonight as they wait for the chance to make their debuts.
It's a strong bench, too, with the likes of Ceballos, Willian and Lacazette among Arteta's options should he need them.
So Mikel Arteta makes seven changes to the side that beat West Ham on Saturday, with Bernd Leno, Sead Kolasinac, Rob Holding and Bukayo Saka the men to keep their places.
Eddie Nketiah leads the line with support from Nicolas Pepe and Reiss Nelson, while Joe Willock and Mohamed Elneny form a new-look midfield partnership.
It looks like three at the back, with Kolasinac as a left centre-back and Saka at left wing-back, but I supposed it could be a straight back four, with Saka higher up the pitch. We'll see.

Cedric Soares will hope to make a first appearance of the season at right wing-back for Arsenal tonight, while Joe Willock is likely to get a start in central midfield.
In attack, Eddie Nketiah will expect to the lead line after coming off the bench to score the winner against West Ham on Saturday.
Out wide, Reiss Nelson is likely to be involved for the first time this season and Nicolas Pepe should feature too as it is a chance for him to get some more minutes under his belt.

Runar Alex Runarsson and William Saliba could both make their Arsenal debuts tonight.
Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his team for the match ahead of Monday’s Premier League trip to Liverpool – and Runarsson and Saliba are two who could come in.
Goalkeeper Runarsson joined Arsenal on Monday from Dijon and has been training with the squad, while Saliba is slowly being integrated into first-team action given he is still just 19 years old.
