Former Chelsea boss Potter was spotted at Arsenal to watch their clash against Palace

New opportunities have been hard to come by this campaign with dismissals only taking place at Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.

Eagles boss Hodgson has found himself under pressure at Selhurst Park with Palace 14th in the table.

The south London outfit have lost nine Premier League matches this term, and have already been dumped out of the FA Cup in the third round.

Going into their trip to Arsenal, Palace have won just one match out of their previous 11 in all competitions.

But for ex-Blues left-back Scott Minto, he believes Potter would be eyeing up a club a step above Palace.

Speaking on talkSPORT commentary, he said of the former Swansea manager: "He's a man out of work.

"Just by being at a game, it probably tells you he wants a return.

"With a little bit of respect to Palace, I think he'd want a job with a little bit more potential.

"So I think he's just here to watch a good football match."

talkSPORT reported last month how Hodgson was facing an uncertain future with Steve Cooper a possible candidate to replace him should he be relieved of his duties.

"I'm 76. I've been working for 47 years. I've got a CBE for my services to football. I've got a CV which is incredible.

"So I'm afraid my answer to you is that makes no difference or is of any interest to me at all and to suggest it should is disrespectful. That's what I think.'"
