Summary

Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden are the usual corner takers for City, with Bernardo Silva often taking deeper free-kicks and De Bruyne taking charge when within firing range. Erling Haaland and Josko Gvardiol are the prime targets but Jack Grealish and Silva have won the most first contacts.

However, John Stones leads the way for City with two goals from set-pieces this season.

Manchester City appear to choose one of three passing options from free-kicks: short, to the left channel or on the penalty spot. Their corners follow a similar pattern but with a relatively high ratio of short corners.
