Liverpool have started the season in fine form after eight games without a loss and plenty of goals to propel them to the top of the Premier League. The Reds boast a formidable line-up of


attacking stars with Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah forming a deadly front three. But not all of their goals have come from slick passing or surging counter-attacks. Liverpool


are ranked at the joint-top set-piece takers in the Premier Leeague after scoring more goals from free-kicks, corners and throw-ins than 18 other teams. Virgil van Dijk's aerial


presence has offered a whole new dynamic to their set-piece game, while England youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold has proven himself to be a solid taker. Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester


United are also among the teams to profit most from set-piece routines. Unai Emery's Gunners have been in great goalscoring form this season and have been successful from set-plays in


2018/19. The figures do not include penalties scored, though Bournemouth have already notched four this season. Take a look below to reveal which Premier League teams have scored the most


goals as a result of set-pieces in 2018/19. Arsenal – 3 Watford – 3 Huddersfield – 3 Everton – 3 Bournemouth – 3 Manchester City – 3 Manchester United – 4 Burnley – 4 Tottenham – 5 LIVERPOOL
