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.
Arsenal predicted XI (3-4-3): Runarsson; Saliba, Luiz, Kolasinac; Cedric, Elneny, Willock, Saka; Pepe, Nketiah, Nelson
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.

35 mins: Slight scare here as Leno leaps to claim a cross but wipes out Luiz in the process. The Arsenal defender hits the deck immediately and, lying flat on his back, is receiving treatment.
31 mins: Nelson is given some instruction from the bench as to where to stand at the corner and the flick on lands at his feet. The forward can't get his effort on target however.
29 mins: Another good chance for the Gunners as Nelson looks to whip another effort from the left hand side but again he's denied by Ward who palms away.
