The Gunners will face Napoli in the Champions League at Emirates Stadium.

“I am expecting a strong team because I think Arsene Wenger is the best coach in the Premier League,” Benitez told PA.

“They have signed good players, at this point everything going well for them. Wenger is a great manager, a great person, someone who knows the league here in England.

“He has experience in Europe, Arsenal is always top four and he is doing great job. Hopefully he can win [the Champions League], but another year, not this one.”
