Striker Danny Welbeck is seeing a specialist about his hamstring issue;

Dutch defender Joel Veltman has been "important" since his summer arrival, "a model professional and a great guy" who has "adapted well to a new league, a new club and a new country," Potter says;

He expects a "tough game" against Arsenal: “You can see the quality Arsenal have, fantastic young players, very organised”;

On the challenges faced by Gunners counterpart Mikel Arteta, Potter says: “It’s never a straight line, sometimes you get setbacks and things happen, sometimes from the outside you don’t know what happens and you have to deal with that”;

He points out that “Arsenal have won a major trophy under Mikel" (the 2020 FA Cup), "which is not easy to do.”
