Nottingham Forest’s solution to their set-piece vulnerability is to try to cut down on the number they give away.
The Reds have shipped 16 goals from set-pieces in the Premier League so far this season. Only Bournemouth, with 21, have conceded more.
It has proved costly as Steve Cooper’s side battle to stay in the Premier League and has particularly come to the fore in recent weeks. Liverpool were able to exploit that frailty at Anfield, with Forest leaving empty-handed despite their performance meriting a result. Meanwhile, Cheikhou Kouyate parting from the wall led to Ivan Toney sparking Brentford’s comeback a fortnight ago.
