Dead balls are no longer an afterthought bolted onto &#8220;real&#8221; football; they&#8217;re coached, drilled and, increasingly, decisive. So as the 2026\/27 season kicks off, we&#8217;ve gone through all 20 clubs to tell you exactly who&#8217;s stepping up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick word on method, because a lot has changed this summer: this is based on each side&#8217;s most recent, established set-piece hierarchy, updated for confirmed transfers. Where a new signing, new manager or injury has thrown things open, we&#8217;ve said so rather than pretending otherwise. Hierarchies move, but this is the lay of the land as the season starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-arsenal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul
