A new trend? Over 250 long throw-ins taken in the first seven rounds of the Premier League season
The new Premier League season has seen seven rounds, and a noticeable trend is emerging — throw-ins.
Details: According to analytics firm Opta, there have been 262 long throw-ins taken so far this season. This amount represents 45% of the total for all of last season. In the 2024/25 season, teams executed 578 long throw-ins across 38 rounds.
After Manchester City‘s match with Brentford, Pep Guardiola mentioned that just three weeks ago, Liverpool seemed likely to clinch the title. However, the situation has changed, making it too early for any final conclusions.
Reminder: Arsenal leads the table with 16 points, followed closely by Liverpool with 15. Tottenham and Bournemouth both have 14 points, Manchester City has 13, and Chelsea is in seventh with 11. The small gap at the top indicates that the title race is still very much on.
