2 min readpenaltiesset piecesreference2026/27

Every Premier League club's first- and second-choice penalty taker, as at 22 September 2026. Four of the twenty list a different first choice than they did on 19 August, the eve of Gameweek 1. Five of today's first-choice takers are injured.

Club First choice Second choice
Arsenal Bukayo Saka Viktor Gyökeres
Aston Villa Emiliano Buendía Nicolas Jackson
Bournemouth Junior Kroupi — injured Justin Kluivert — injured
Brentford Igor Thiago Kevin Schade
Brighton Pascal Groß Promise David
Chelsea Cole Palmer — 75% Estêvão
Coventry City Haji Wright — injured Victor Torp
Crystal Palace Jean-Philippe Mateta — injured Ismaïla Sarr
Everton Thierno Barry James Garner
Fulham Gonzalo García Antonee Robinson
Hull City Oli McBurnie none listed
Ipswich Town Jack Clarke Emersonn
Leeds Dominic Calvert-Lewin Lukas Nmecha
Liverpool Dominik Szoboszlai Alexander Isak
Man City Erling Haaland Antoine Semenyo
Man Utd Bruno Fernandes Bryan Mbeumo
Newcastle William Osula — injured Yoane Wissa
Nott'm Forest Morgan Gibbs-White Chris Wood
Spurs Dominic Solanke Omar Marmoush
Sunderland Habib Diarra — injured Enzo Le Fée

Who changed since Gameweek 1

  • Liverpool: Alexander Isak to Dominik Szoboszlai. Isak is now second.
  • Newcastle: Nick Woltemade to William Osula.
  • Nottingham Forest: Chris Wood to Morgan Gibbs-White. Wood is now second.
  • Everton: no taker listed on 19 August. Thierno Barry now.

Manchester City listed both Haaland and Iliman Ndiaye as first choice on 19 August. They now list Haaland alone, so we count it as unchanged.

Who takes them while the first choice is out

  • Bournemouth: Kroupi is out until 7 November and Kluivert has no return date, so Marcus Tavernier, third on the list, is next.
  • Coventry City: Wright has a thigh injury with no return date, so Victor Torp is next.
  • Crystal Palace: Mateta is expected back on 11 October, the day after the Gameweek 6 deadline, so Ismaïla Sarr is next.
  • Newcastle: Osula has a foot injury with no return date, so Yoane Wissa is next.
  • Sunderland: Diarra has a hamstring injury with no return date, so Enzo Le Fée is next.

Who takes the free-kicks and corners too

Three first-choice penalty takers also hold first-choice direct free-kicks and corners: Groß at Brighton, Szoboszlai at Liverpool and Fernandes at Manchester United. At the other seventeen clubs, set-piece duty is split.

Order is FPL's own set-piece data, read on 22 September. It can change without an announcement, and usually only shows when someone new steps up to take one.
