Mikel Arteta’s men will take on Leicester City away at the King Power Stadium in the third round of the 2020/2021 Carabao Cup.
The game will be played either on 22 or 23 September 2020.
Following the club’s qualification for the UEFA Europa League, the Gunners will enter the competition at the third round stage this season.
