Arsenal have been relentless on set-pieces and wing play recently. In their five preseason games, they consistently hit high corner numbers, at least six in every match. It reflects their attacking width and tendency to flood the opposition box with crosses and shots. Against Manchester United last season, Arsenal’s corner count was even more striking, which makes over 10.5 corners look like a realistic target here.
