20 Man City Set-Piece Goals Scored – 0
Surprisingly, Man City are rock bottom of the set-piece goal table and are yet to register from a corner, free-kick or throw in.
Pep Guardiola’s side were awarded their first penalty of the season against Liverpool, however, Erling Haaland failed to convert. That hasn’t stopped the striker leading the way in the goalscoring charts, though.
19 Wolves Set-Piece Goals Scored – 2
Rock bottom of the league table, Wolves don’t fare much better in the set-piece table, registering two goals from dead-ball situations.
Vitor Pereira lost his job after 10 games without a win, with those at Molineux facing a huge task to remain in the Premier League in 2026.
18 Liverpool Set-Piece Goals Scored – 2
Defending champions Liverpool haven’t been at their best so far this season, and are also struggling at set-pieces, netting just twice from dead-ball situations.
Excluding penalties, the Reds only scored five times from corners, free-kicks and throw-ins last season, showing a side of the game Arne Slot’s side could do with improving.
17 Fulham Set-Piece Goals Scored – 2
Now an established Premier League team, Fulham, under Marco Silva, have the likes of Rodrigo Muniz and Raul Jimenez in attack looking to get on the end of any set piece.
The Cottagers have also benefited more from own goals than any other side in the top flight so far with three.
16 Aston Villa Set-Piece Goals Scored – 2
Aston Villa netted 14 times from set pieces in 2024/25, however, Unai Emery’s side have only registered two goals from dead-ball scenarios so far this season.
On the up after a poor start, Villa will be looking to increase their set-piece tally while also balancing Europa League football at Villa Park.
15 Nottingham Forest Set-Piece Goals Scored – 3
Nottingham Forest, who netted 12 times from corners, free-kicks and throw-ins in 2024/25 under Nuno Espirito Santo, are on three set-piece goals.
After sacking Nuno and his replacement Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche is the man in charge at the City Ground, so Forest’s set-piece record could quickly improve.
14 Burnley Set-Piece Goals Scored – 3
Burnley have so far scored six Premier League goals, three of which have come from dead-ball situations.
The Clarets under Scott Parker, could rely heavily on set pieces if they are to avoid the drop back to the Championship.
13 West Ham Set-Piece Goals Scored – 4
Struggling at the bottom of both tables are West Ham. The Hammers were among first to make a managerial change, with Nuno replacing Graham Potter at the London Stadium.
He’s improved on the Irons’ poor record from set pieces with four goals, which has helped them record some crucial wins.
12 Everton Set-Piece Goals Scored – 4
Everton, under David Moyes, appear to be settling in to their new Hill Dickinson Stadium and will be looking to avoid another relegation battle.
Iliman Ndiaye scored the first penalty at Everton’s new stadium in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, and the Toffees have scored three more from corners, free-kicks or throw-ins.
11 Newcastle Set-Piece Goals Scored – 4
With Champions League football back on offer at St James’ Park, Newcastle have struggled by their recent standards in the Premier League.
The Magpies have managed to score three goals from corners, free-kicks and throw-ins, with the other among from the spot, so they are on track to surpass their 24/25 tally of nine excluding penalties.
