Arsène Wenger admits his transfer options will be limited in January.
The window swings open in less than four weeks and the Arsenal manager has already admitted he will be in the market for a new player after losing Robin van Persie to a serious ankle injury.
The speculation will no doubt come thick and fast in the weeks to come but Wenger is a realist and understands that January is not always the best time to hunt for new recruits.
"Let's not dream too much," he said at his pre-match press conference.
"In January you need to find a world-class player, who has not played in the Champions League, so we need a very good Christmas.
"I am not a big fan of January, that's why I say I will be on the market but that doesn't mean that I will buy.
"To find the players who have not played in the Champions League, who are world-class, who are available... I wish you good luck."
