Deadly deliveries and controlled chaos: how Arsenal became set-piece masters

Arsenal have scored 19 goals from corners in all competitions this season. Much of the credit for that goes to their primary corner takers, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. Taking corners from the left with his right foot, Rice has created eight goals, compared with five from Saka, who offers left-foot deliveries from the right. The vast majority of Arsenal's corners (81%) are in-swinging, and statistically more likely to lead to a goal than out-swinging deliveries.

Chelsea boss Rosenior challenges world-class Caicedo to add more goals to his game - Soccer News

Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. I don't know how many headers he has scored in his career, but we are always a threat on set-plays. When you play against a low block, your pivot players can be higher up the pitch. He's scored a couple from outside the box this season and hopefully he can keep chipping in with goals to win us more games of football.

Liverpool's biggest problem is not Arne Slot and it can be FIXED without January transfer spend

Liverpool's hopes of retaining the Premier League title in 2025/26 are all but dead and buried - and it's only December. The team have been on a torrid run of late, losing nine of their last 13 matches in all competitions, with the likelihood of being crowned back-to-back champions now decidedly slim. Slot's men are only nine points off the early pace set by league leaders Arsenal but six league defeats from their opening 13 Premier League fixtures this season paints a very different picture.

Everything also evens out a little bit more because it's so competitive and the atmosphere in the stadium.

With six goals and eight assists already to his name, Rashford has stepped up whenever Raphinha or Robert Lewandowski have been unavailable, proving to be one of Hansi Flick's most effective attacking weapons.
