Liverpool’s Set-Piece Issues Highlighted by Van Dijk

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk highlighted the team’s significant issues with defending set-pieces, calling it a “killer” for their performance. The Reds have conceded 12 set-piece goals in 18 league games, the highest in the Premier League, while scoring only three from set-pieces themselves, resulting in their worst differential. Despite these challenges, Liverpool is on a seven-match unbeaten run and has recently secured three consecutive league wins, moving back into the top four but still trailing leaders Arsenal by 10 points. Manager Arne Slot acknowledges the need for improvement in set-piece situations but sees progress in the team’s ability to win despite conceding from corners.
