The north Londoners finished as runners-up to Borussia Dortmund in Group D, meaning they could be pitted against such European heavyweights as Bayern Munich, Barcelona or even holders Real Madrid.
Arsenal were knocked out of the tournament by Bayern at the last-16 stage last season and Wenger is hoping for a kinder draw, with Atletico Madrid, Porto and Monaco also possible opponents for his side.
"We have been well served in the recent years," he told reporters. "Maybe I will go to church over the weekend."
The Gunners head into the festive fixtures in good form having bounced back from defeat to Stoke with wins over Galatasaray and Newcastle and Wenger is hoping his side can maintain their good run.
"In the last six games we’ve won five. We need a few more wins to completely lift the confidence," he added.
"You could see at some stage we were a bit edgy sometimes when it was 3-1 and the crowd as well felt the ghost of Anderlecht here a little bit. We need a few more games.
"We can score goals and we showed that again tonight. Overall it was a dynamic game where defensively - despite the fact that we were depleted at the back - we were quite solid.
"Going forward we always looked dangerous. In the end we won in a convincing way. We scored four goals and that was needed. The response was strong after the Stoke City game and let’s go well over Christmas.
"I cannot fault any performance today because I think everybody played well."
