#3 Crystal Palace
Premier League legend Patrick Vieira has impressed many after having done a decent job so far at Crystal Palace. The Eagles sit 11th in the league table with 30 points in 27 matches.
This surely does not make them safe, but given that they sit above the likes of Leicester City, Everton and Aston Villa, it makes it a commendable achievement. That being said, there are areas of concern for Crystal Palace, especially when dealing with set-pieces.
Out of the 38 goals they have conceded this season, 13 have come through set-pieces. This has resulted in them losing points more often than not this campaign. This is one of the reasons why Palace have drawn 12 matches already, the joint-most in the league.
#2 Leicester City
The form of the Foxes has been astonishing in the 2021-22 season. After starting on a good note, Brendan Rodgers and his players were expected to challenge for a place in Europe.
At the moment, Leicester City sit 13th in the table, with 27 points in 23 matches. Jamie Vardy's long-term injury has affected their performance but they can surely do much better than they are doing right now.
Having conceded 43 goals in 23 matches, Leicester City have been quite disappointing at the back. Despite having the likes of Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Wilfred Ndidi and Jannik Vestergaard, the Foxes have leaked goals at regular intervals. Out of the 43, 13 goals have been conceded through set-pieces, which only makes it a big concern.
#1 Leeds United
It is a pity that Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds United have parted ways. The Argentine played a massive role in making Leeds play some really entertaining and attractive football.
Given the Whites' poor run in the Premier League this season, something like this was meant to happen. Leeds United sit 16th in the table with just 23 points in 26 matches. Their free-flowing and attacking football may have worked out well for them previously but has backfired this season.
Leeds have conceded 60 goals this season, the most by any club in the 2021-22 campaign. At times, they have been demolished by the opposition, resulting in a loss by a huge margin.
Out of the 60, 13 goals have been conceded through set-pieces by the Whites. If they fail to address this issue, they'll soon be moving closer to relegation.
