Summary

Youri Tielemans is the set-piece king at Aston Villa, with Lucas Digne frequently taking corners down the right channel. Pau Torres and Morgan Rogers are the prime targets.

However, Amadou Onana has scored twice from set-pieces this season.

Aston Villa are one of several clubs that fire the majority of their corners close to the posts, favouring the near post or onto the goalkeeper. The Villans mix it up for free-kicks, going short, to the channels or on the penalty spot in almost equal measure.
