Arsenal will be looking to continue their winning start to the 2020-21 campaign when they take on Leicester City in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners beat West Ham United 2-1 on Saturday through a late Eddie Nketiah goal to make it three victories from three in all competitions this term.
