Arsenal is the best set-piece team in the Premier League this season.

With two goals from set-pieces in the weekend's match against Crystal Palace, Arsenal once again demonstrated how dangerous they are in this aspect of the game. After the match, Mikel Arteta stated that they spend a lot of time training set-pieces, and it's no coincidence that they are now the most threatening team in the Premier League in that regard. Nicolas Jover is responsible for set-pieces at Arsenal, and he deserves credit for the work done on the training ground, which is now translating into points in the matches.
