Summary

Dwight McNeil typically takes corners and free-kicks for Everton, with James Tarkowski and Michael Keane, who has scored twice from set-pieces this term, being the prime targets - with both centre-backs registering impressive ratios for first contacts.

Everton mix it up across set-pieces but favour the far post, penalty spot or onto the goalkeeper from corners, while also playing five per cent of their corners to the opposite flank and playing it short or centrally outside the box in equal measure.

The Toffees are equally unpredictable, and hugely successful, from free-kicks - playing it short 25 per cent of the time or out wide to the right channel 14 per cent of the time.
