It is the question few have found an answer to: how do you stop Arsenal scoring from corner kicks? The Gunners have scored 16 goals from corners this season - already the joint most in a Premier League season - as they continue to lead the charge for the title. But maybe a solution has been found by Kidderminster Harriers in National League North, the sixth tier of English football. Chelsea raised a few eyebrows when they left three up front when defending Arsenal's corners in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given suggested earlier this season that keeping players up while defending corners could be an effective way to counteract Arsenal's threat.
