The focus on set pieces in the Premier League has never been greater.

Teams place greater importance on causing chaos from free-kick and corner situations, and the long-throw has also made a roaring comeback in 2025/26.

One side has certainly made the most of their set-piece situations since the turn of the new year.

Since New Year's Day, no team has scored more goals from set-pieces than Arne Slot's Liverpool after Virgil van Dijk headered in from Dominik Szoboszlai's corner against West Ham on Saturday. 

Liverpool continued to live up to their reputation as set-piece specialists as Hugo Ekitiké teed up Alexis Mac Allister, who volleyed into the net.
