While Arsenal possesses the ability to pressure opponents across the pitch, a significant area of their strength this year lies in their effectiveness from set-pieces, particularly corners.
It would come as no surprise if PSG were acutely aware of Arsenal’s dead-ball threat heading into tonight’s crucial encounter. The Gunners demonstrated their danger from such situations in the first leg, even though a goal scored from a set-piece was ultimately disallowed by VAR.
Arsenal’s Impressive Set-Piece Statistics:
Since appointing set-piece coach Nicolas Jover three years ago, Arsenal have become a formidable force from dead-ball situations:
- They have scored an impressive 55 corner goals.
- Their total from all set-pieces stands at 68 goals.
- This conversion rate from set-pieces is higher than any other Premier League club.
It is highly anticipated that Arsenal will look to exploit their proficiency from corners and other set-pieces as a primary attacking weapon in tonight’s game against PSG, aiming to break the deadlock and secure their progression.
