Ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season, we take a look at the set-piece & Penalty takers for all 20 Premier League clubs. The article also includes stats from the previous season on how well teams perform in set pieces- Corners, Free Kicks, and Penalties.
This blog will be updated during the pre-season and during the season as well, based on the latest info and set piece stats.

Premier League Penalty & Set Piece Takers
Note: If there are multiple picks, it is in the order of preference on who will take the set piece.
Arsenal
- Penalties: Saka, Gyokeres, Odegaard
- Direct Free Kicks: Rice, Odegaard
- Corners: Rice, Saka, Odegaard
- Indirect Free Kicks: Rice, Odegaard, Saka
Notes: Gyokeres has a 34-4 penalty record in his career, which suggests that he is a good penalty taker. In the previous seasons, Saka was on penalties(sometimes he gave it up to Odegaard). This time, it could be a two-horse race with Gyokeres also in the mix. Arteta didn’t give much when asked about it, but it looks like Gyokeres could take some penalties off Saka if not all. Watch out for pre-season games.

- Penalties: Mateta, Eze
- Direct Free Kicks: Eze, Devenny

Everton
- Penalties: Ndiaye, Barry, Beto
- Direct Free Kicks: Alcaraz, Dewbusry Hall, Garner
- Corners: Dewsbury Hall, McNeil, Garner
- In-Direct Free Kicks: Garner, McNeil
Notes:
- New Forward singing Barry, has scored 4 penalties and has missed 1 penalty in his club career. Ndiaye has scored 3/3 penalties- All 3 coming during the last season. It might be a close call, but our guess is that Moyes would stick to Ndiaye as he is a little more experienced and can handle pressure. Watch out for pre-season games.
- Dewsbury Hall(5.0 MID) took corners for Everton in the final pre-season game. McNeil was not on the pitch at that time though.

- Direct Free Kicks: Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Salah
- Corners: Wirtz, Mac Allister, Robertson, Szoboszlai
- In-Direct Free Kicks: Robertson, Wirtz, Mac Allister
Van Dijk was seen practicing direct free kicks in the pre-season training – One to have an eye on with the departure of TAA.
Notes:
- New signing Hugo Ekitiké has scored 3 penalties, missed 4 penalties in his club career. So even if Salah is not there on the pitch, he is not likely to be on penalties.
- Salah missed 2 penalties during the pre-season. He should still be on peanlties though.
