Gunners have a potent weapon

JOVER: SET-PIECE GURU CREATES DECEPTIVE ROUTINES

Arsenal will deploy a potent weapon who never sets foot on the pitch when they bid I to exploit Paris Saint Germain's set-piece vulnerability in today's Champions League showdown.

Mikel Arteta's side have emerged as Europe's pre-eminent force at corners and free-kicks thanks to their set-piece guru Nicolas Jover.

Having worked with Arteta during their time on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City coaching staff, Jover was persuaded to follow his friend to Arsenal in 2021.

Jover's clever schemes have been the unheralded secret of Arsenal's success until this season when their exquisite execution finally became obvious to overwhelmed opponents.
