Arsenal’s success at the top level in recent seasons has been significantly influenced by their effective use of set pieces, particularly corners. Nicolas Jover, Arsenal's set-piece coach, plays a visible role on the touchline as Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka step up to deliver crosses. Unsurprisingly, Saka and Rice rank 1st and 2nd in the league for expected assists (xA) from set plays. When it comes to first contact locations, 47% of Arsenal's deliveries target the six yard box - a higher proportion than any other team. While Gabriel has been a key aerial threat, Arsenal have adapted seamlessly in his absence, scoring two goals from corners against Manchester United and another against Fulham at the weekend. With set pieces proving to be such a potent weapon in their arsenal (pun intended), the team will be hoping that their dominance in this area can provide the edge needed to carry them to a Premier League title. #AFC #COYG
