Summary

Declan Rice tends to take corners from the left and Bukayo Saka takes charge down the right for Arsenal, but Rice has been the commanding chief from free-kicks this term with Martin Odegaard sidelined for seven league games through injury. Kai Havertz, Gabriel (who has scored twice from set-pieces this season), William Saliba and Thomas Partey are their key targets.

Two-thirds of the Gunners', primarily inswinging, corners are fired either on the goalkeeper or to the back post, while nearly half of their free-kicks are played to the wings.
