One side has certainly made the most of their set-piece situations since the turn of the new year.

Since New Year's Day, no team has scored more goals from set-pieces than Arne Slot's Liverpool after Virgil van Dijk headered in from Dominik Szoboszlai's corner against West Ham on Saturday.

Liverpool continued to live up to their reputation as set-piece specialists as Hugo Ekitiké teed up Alexis Mac Allister, who volleyed into the net.
