Arsenal play against Hull City this weekend, who have a weakness at defending inside the box. The Gunners could use their strength at set-pieces to exploit Hull and get an easy three points.
Writer Dylan Oakley argues that Arsenal should exploit set pieces to overcome Hull City when the teams meet at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. After a 2-1 Champions League victory over Slavia Prague on Wednesday, Mikel Arteta's squad sits three points clear at the top of the Premier League table. However, Arsenal have managed just one set-piece goal so far this campaign.
Oakley highlights that Hull concede the league's second-highest proportion of goals inside the penalty area at 90 percent. Consequently, the writer suggests set-piece coach Nicolas Jover should target that defensive vulnerability with specialized routines to target Gabriel Magalhaes or deliver crosses into the six-yard box.
