Alex is joined by writer Jake Fox to break down how Arsenal approach arguably the biggest "marginal gain" in football: set pieces. This episode covers attacking corners, attacking free kicks, throw-ins & defending corners.

Jake's recent work focuses on Arsenal's set piece strategies. You can find these articles on his medium, Jakewfox - in the episode we reference this one about corners, and this one about throw-ins.

Thanks to Jake for coming onto the show! You can find him on Twitter @JakeWFox.
