CHRISTIAN FUCHS’ own goal and an Eddie Nketiah finish proved the difference as Arsenal set up a potential Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool.
The Leicester defender could do nothing to prevent the ball rolling into the back of the net on 57 minutes at the King Power.
Nicolas Pepe made headway down the right channel and saw his effort parried by Danny Ward.
The ball fell to the Ivorian again who then stabbed against the base of the post before it bounced back off the Austrian’s foot and beyond the helpless City defenders.
Englishman striker Nketiah then capitalised on Danny Ward’s hesitancy in the final minute to secure a 2-0 victory.
Arsenal will now face a trip to either Lincoln or Liverpool next week in the fourth round.
