However, Wenger is adamant that his team will not be taking it easy, with their hosts still battling to reach the knockout stages themselves.
"It is not who we left at home, it is who will play who is important," Wenger said.
"We are unbeaten and want to continue our run and also to be respectful of everybody else in the group. The team will be motivated and absolutely up for it.
"I would be very, very disappointed if our winning attitude was not completely right and I will make sure we walk out there with immense desire to try to win the game."
Olympiacos need to better Marseille's result against Borussia Dortmund to have any chance of joining Arsenal in the last 16 and the Greeks are 1.80 to win on home turf.
The Gunners are 15.00 to repeat their 2-1 home win over Olympiacos earlier on in the campaign, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 10.00 to open the scoring in Piraeus, just as he had done at the Emirates Stadium.
