Arsenal have struck first in their game against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, thanks to a Mikel Merino header.
There has been a lot of talk about The Gunners' failure to convert from corners lately, their last corner goal coming back in January in their game against Tottenham.

Despite their recent drought, Arsenal have previously done well from the corner flag, making their lack of success in 2025 a puzzling stat.
It was makeshift striker Mikel Merino that put the home side ahead, the Spaniard doing a sterling job filling in for Arsenal's injured frontline.
The defender's fifth goal of the campaign puts him third in their top scorers list, illustrating their woes in that regard.
Can the Spaniard strike again in this important clash?
