Both the sides have started their Champions League campaign on a winning note with Napoli handing Borussia Dortmund a shock 2-1 defeat while Arsenal eased their way past Marseille.
Benitez said: “We are going to play against a top side so we must show character, strength – but we must also show respect to a team that is top of the league and playing very well.
“I am expecting a strong team because I think Wenger is the top coach in the Premier League, and then they signed top players so it is going well for them. Arsenal have a great manager and a good team.
“(Wenger) is a great manager, a great person. He is someone that knows the league in England and in Europe, and I think he is doing a great job and I hope that one year he can win it (the Champions League) – although not this year, just in case.”
