Potter was observed in the spectator stands as Arsenal made their return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace. The former Chelsea manager has been without a position since his dismissal from Chelsea after just seven months at Stamford Bridge. Despite being linked with potential roles at Palace, West Ham, Lyon, and Manchester United, Potter has yet to make a decision on his next career move.
The future trajectory of Potter’s career remains uncertain, but he is reportedly considered a candidate for Crystal Palace if the club decides to part ways with Hodgson. Hodgson, the 76-year-old manager, has faced increasing scrutiny at Selhurst Park as Palace has experienced a decline in the Premier League standings. A substantial defeat to Arsenal, with Potter in attendance, is unlikely to improve Hodgson’s situation.
Potter holds the joint-lowest points-per-game record of any manager who has taken charge of more than 20 games for Chelsea in the Premier League.
During the match between Arsenal and Palace, Potter witnessed Arsenal taking control with a goal from Gabriel, an own goal by Dean Henderson, and a strike from Leandro Trossard. The Eagles are set to face Sheffield United, the bottom side in the Premier League, next, and anything other than a victory will increase the pressure on Hodgson.
