Leicester City Preview – Can the Foxes make home advantage count?
Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City have started their Premier League campaign with back-to-back wins over West Bromwich Albion and Burnley. The Foxes were too good for the Baggies at The Hawthorns, with Jamie Vardy scoring two penalties in the 3-0 win.
Last Sunday, Leicester were then involved in a six-goal thriller with Burnley at the King Power Stadium. An own goal from Erik Pieters and strikes from Harvey Barnes, James Justin and Dennis Praet earned City a 4-2 win over the Clarets at the King Power Stadium.
With Manchester City to come in the league on Sunday, can Leicester warm up for that one with a win in the League Cup in midweek?
Arsenal Preview – Gunners to book their spot in round four?
Arsenal went all the way in the Emirates FA Cup last season, beating Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in the final. The Gunners have been notoriously strong in that competition in recent years, but they have not won the League Cup since 1993.
Like Leicester, Arsenal have also won two out of two in the Premier League. The Gunners started their league campaign with an easy 3-0 win at Fulham, which they followed up with a 2-1 victory over West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday.

This EFL Cup tie could go either way on Wednesday night, but we fancy Arsenal to seal a narrow win and book their place in round four. You can get the tasty odds of 3/1 for the London side to win by one goal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who netted in July’s 1-1 draw, has scored two goals in three appearances for the Gunners so far this term. The Gabon international is priced at 10/3 to open the scoring at the King Power Stadium.
