Araújo key factor in Liverpool’s improvement at set pieces, says Iraola

Andoni Iraola pointed to Ronald Araújo as a key reason behind Liverpool's enhanced performance on set pieces, yet acknowledged that Arsenal will present the "biggest challenge" to his side's defensive record this Sunday.

Liverpool have yet to allow a set-piece goal in the Premier League, having conceded only one overall—Conor Gallagher's consolation header past Giorgi Mamardashvili during Tottenham's Carabao Cup loss at Anfield in September. This resilience marks a stark turnaround from last season, when Arne Slot's team let in 20 non-penalty set-piece goals in the league, tying for the most in the competition with Crystal Palace and Iraola's Bournemouth.
