Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is confident his side will get back to scoring from set-pieces after a poor run of form.

Opponents were virtually invincible from set-pieces earlier in the season, a feat under set-piece coach Nicolas Jower, but have fallen short of scoring from set-pieces of late.

They travel to Manchester United on Sunday knowing victory is vital if they are to keep their hopes of catching leaders Liverpool alive. Arsenal

scored twice from corners in a 2-0 win against United at the Emirates earlier in the season.

However, the Gunners have struggled more since Christmas but Tuesday’s 7-1 rout of PSV Eindhoven provided some positive news.

Asked why they have scored less from set-pieces recently, Arteta explained: “There are a number of factors. เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา In some games we create more chances, in other games we don’t. “

Sometimes it’s about crosses, sometimes it’s about timing, ball control and the other thing is the opposition. They know how to defend set-pieces. We have to admit he is very prepared because he knows we are a dangerous side from set-pieces. “

We played well the last few days [against PSV] and well against Forest. It will come but we have to be patient.”

The absence of Bukayo Saka, who is good at crossing corners, is another factor in the team’s lack of accuracy from set-pieces.

“That’s another factor, when you have options on both sides and the consistency of delivering quality crosses it helps a lot,” Arteta added.

“Scoring from set-pieces is not something you do all the time. It shouldn’t be discouraging.”
