Leicester City vs Arsenal 23/9/2020 Carabao Cup
Don't forget to subscribe 🙏 Preview: Leicester City vs. Arsenal - prediction, team news, lineups Leicester City and Arsenal face off in the pick of the EFL Cup third-round ties at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday evening. The winner of the all-Premier League affair will take on either Lincoln City or Liverpool next week for a place in the quarter-finals. Match preview Leicester and Arsenal have both made impressive starts to their Premier League campaigns by winning two games from two. The Foxes, who somehow missed out on a top-four finish last season after badly drifting away, have defeated West Bromwich Albion and Burnley to top the table. Arsenal have seen off Fulham and West Ham United in their opening two fixtures, meanwhile, having also edged out Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield. Mikel Arteta's side required a late Eddie Nketiah goal to shake off West Ham, while Leicester recovered from a goal down to overcome Burnley at the weekend. Focus now switches to the domestic cup and the chance to continue building some momentum in the opening month of a campaign unlike any other. This will be just the third time Leicester and Arsenal have met in the EFL Cup, sharing a win apiece in those previous two encounters. Avoiding defeat at Leicester is not something Arsenal have done a lot of in recent times, though, losing each of their last three games at the King Power Stadium in all competitions. The Foxes have lost just one of their last 14 games in the competition, meanwhile, in a run that has seen them reach at least the quarter-finals in each of the last three campaigns. That is an impressive record, but one that Arsenal can better - they have progressed past this stage of the EFL Cup in 16 of the last 17 seasons, failing only in 2014-15 against Southampton. Arteta has already won two trophies in his nine months in North London, though it remains to be seen just how seriously he will take the EFL Cup, with a trip to Premier League champions Liverpool to come next weekend. Similarly, Leicester face a tricky trip to Manchester City four days after this showdown with Arsenal, so Brendan Rodgers will likely rotate his squad between matches. If that is the case, it could well come down to who boasts the better squad depth between these two in-form sides. Leicester City form (all competitions): WW Arsenal form (all competitions): WWW Team News Mesut Ozil has not been part of Arsenal's matchday squad for their first two games back, but the playmaker is not carrying an injury and may be in Arteta's thoughts here. Arteta has plenty of other attacking options, however, including the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Joe Willock and Nketiah, who deserves a start after his late winner versus West Ham. Dijon goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson has been tipped to join ahead of Wednesday's match and could be in line for a swift debut, but Matt Macey is otherwise standing by. Leicester confirmed the arrival of Cengiz Under from Roma on Sunday and he could make his first appearance in this one, though Demarai Gray and Marc Albrighton are also pushing for starts. Kelechi Iheanacho, another who will be keen to get the nod, has been involved in 11 goals in 14 EFL Cup appearances for the Foxes. Jonny Evans is still not available for the hosts, so a combination of Wes Morgan and Caglar Soyuncu is likely at the back. Leicester City possible starting lineup: Ward; Justin, Morgan, Soyuncu, Thomas; Choudhury, Mendy; Gray, Maddison, Albrighton; Iheanacho Arsenal possible starting lineup: Macey; Cedric, Saliba, Luiz, Holding, Kolasinac; Elneny, Guendouzi; Pepe, Nketiah, Saka We say: Leicester City 1-2 Arsenal Arsenal are winless in their last three games against Leicester and have lost three in a row at the King Power Stadium. However, with both teams expected to rotate for this midweek cup tie, we can see the Gunners' squad depth telling in a narrow away victory.

HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal 2-0 Manchester City | Emirates FA Cup finalists!
A monumental team performance - and two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - saw us overcome Manchester City to book our place in the Emirates FA Cup final. Our captain missed a glorious chance when he was put through by David Luiz, but made amends a few minutes later with a brilliantly-executed half-volley to steer Nicolas Pepe's cross past Ederson and in off the post. That was the conclusion of a move that comprised 18 passes and 10 of our players. A true collective effort in keeping with the overall display. Aubameyang was ruthless again with his only clear chance of the second half, racing onto a fine through-ball from the outstanding Kieran Tierney to finish confidently. Shkodran Mustafi went close for us with a powerful header that Ederson tipped over but, as expected, City had most of the ball and more of the opportunities. They dominated the first 15 minutes and we needed a string of vital blocks and clearances to keep Pep Guardiola's side at bay - with Granit Xhaka, David Luiz and Tierney to the fore. City posed even more questions in the second half with Kevin De Bruyne doing plenty of damage after moving from the centre of midfield to the right. But chances were squandered by Raheem Sterling and David Silva, while Emi Martinez made a great save to deny Riyad Mahrez. City threw everything at us, but Mikel Arteta's gameplan worked perfectly. Our players followed his instructions to the letter and a combination of discipline, determination and clinical finishing gave Arteta a famous win over his former club. Arsenal team: Martinez, Mustafi, David Luiz, Tierney, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang Subs: Macey, Sokratis Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Smith, Willock, Nelson, Saka Man City team: Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, David Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus Subs: Stones, Zinchenko, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Otamendi, Carson, Foden #arsenal #manchestercity #emiratesfacup For more match action, highlights and training videos, make sure you become a digital member and sign up to Arsenal Player.
