​Ostersunds manager Potter: Snow could help us upset Arsenal

Ostersunds' English manager Potter says snow could help Arsenal upset

Ostersunds manager Graham Potter has admitted that the harsh conditions in the city could help them triumph over Arsenal in the Europa League.

Little known Ostersunds have been drawn against the Gunners in the Round of 32 of the Europa League.

And although the odds are clearly stacked against the Swedish club, their English manager believes that the harsh winter conditions in the city could help his side claim an upset against the Premier League giants.

Potter said: "I remember having a friendly around that time of year and it was minus 18°C.

"There could be a lot of snow. It is not a massive advantage because nobody really likes playing football in those conditions."
