Summary

In-form Bryan Mbeumo has emerged as Brentford's talisman after the departure of Ivan Toney and the Cameroon international also takes most of their set-pieces, while Mikkel Damsgaard usually takes corners from the left flank - with Ethan Pinnock and Nathan Collins being the prime targets.

Pinnock and Yoane Wissa have both scored twice from set-pieces this term.

Nearly two-thirds of Brentford's corners are played short, onto the goalkeeper or around the penalty spot. Almost a quarter of the Bees' free-kicks are played short, while there is a notable preference to play the ball out wide or around the penalty spot.
