\t<\/div>Arne Slot believes Arsenal will capitalise on their set-piece strength in their Premier League game against Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have registered their third straight win in the Premier League for the first time since December with a 5-2 victory at home to West Ham on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Slot\u2019s side scored their first three goals against West Ham from corner-kick situations with Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister all finding the net.<\/p>\n
After his side\u2019s win, Slot pointed out that Liverpool were clearly trailing Arsenal\u2019s superiority in scoring from set-pieces and feels Mikel Arteta\u2019s men will show their dominance against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u2018We created quite a lot of chances from set-pieces in the first part of the season and almost every set-piece we conceded went in, and today you could see exactly the opposite happening,\u2019 Slot said.<\/p>\n \u2018I think one of their first big chances was a set-piece that would have gone in in the first six or seven months [of the season], 100 per cent sure. But now we did it and we start scoring from set-pieces and then things look much brighter and better than when you don\u2019t, and that\u2019s really pleasing for us, for the team and for our fans as well.<\/p>\n Metro<\/strong>‘s Head of Sport James Goldman delivers punchy analysis, transfer talk and his take on the week’s biggest stories direct to your inbox every week.<\/p>\n Sign up here, it’s an open goal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018Things went back to normal, mainly, because I just said that we\u2019ve created quite a lot of chances in the first half of the season that constantly did not go in, or too many times did not go in with being unlucky. We were a lot of times very close. And even today we conceded the set-piece, they scored one and they could have scored a second one in the first half \u2013 that would have been the first one, but you know what I mean.<\/p>\n Arsenal: <\/strong>17 \u2018Maybe one or two small details have changed defensively and offensively, I think we are set up slightly, slightly different. But the biggest reason is that things go back to normal.<\/p>\n \u2018There was a period of time that we were 23 goals behind Arsenal in set-pieces, including penalties, by the way. And we\u2019re still not only three goals away from them but we\u2019ve closed the gap a little bit.<\/p>\n \u2018Although you never know what can happen this weekend with Arsenal because I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they scored three from set-pieces this weekend as well.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on ![\"LIVERPOOL,](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SEI_287168816-edca.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646\")
