Crystal Palace are 12th in the Premier League with 36 points after 27 matches, having won, drawn, and lost nine matches each.
With a balanced performance and statistics, Oliver Glasner‘s side have scored 35 goals and conceded 33.
While these figures may seem average at first glance, a closer look reveals that 12 of their 35 goals came from set pieces, accounting for nearly 35% of their total goals.
Interestingly, they are the second-highest scorers from set pieces in the Premier League this season, with 12 goals, just one goal behind Aston Villa, who have scored 13.
We all know Aston Villa’s proficiency with set pieces and Unai Emery‘s reliance on Austin MacPhee, the set-piece coach.
However, it may surprise you that Crystal Palace rank just behind them, having scored more goals from set pieces than prominent teams like Arsenal.
You might argue that this could be a matter of luck, but that is untrue.
The goals alone do not place them among the best teams for set pieces in the Premier League this season; other factors also contribute.
For instance, they have scored 12 goals from 120 set-piece shots, the highest in the league.
This has resulted in expected goals (xG) of 11.41 from set pieces, making them the third-best team in the league after Arsenal (12.96) and Aston Villa (12.55).
More importantly, there is something that distinguishes them on the field, which translates these statistics into actual performance.
This will be explained as Karim El-shesheiny delves into their tactics in this tactical analysis.
