Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger accepts they may be handed a difficult draw for their Champions League qualifier.

"We are conscious that there are tricky teams out there," Wenger said.

"But on the other side, nobody would like to play against Arsenal."

However, the Gunners boss is more concerned with fixture congestion before the season has even started.

He added: "What is tricky is we have an international friendly on the 12th, France plays an official game, Croatia plays an official game.

"Then we play on the 15th, the 19th, the 22nd, at Manchester United, then again on the 25th, the second leg of the Champions League.

"It is a very heavy schedule, and that is why I have to find the right balance in every game and to have no injuries is important.

"Qualification is not crucially financially for the club, it is crucial on the sporting side because we want to play for the best, and with the best is in the Champions League."
