Wenger expects Mesut Ozil and Mikel Arteta to return to action in January, while Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Laurent Koscielny are due back imminently to help reignite the Gunners' quest for a top-four finish in the Barclays Premier League.
The Christmas schedule features fixtures against QPR, West Ham and Southampton and Wenger believes Arsenal, who occupy sixth place in the table, will soon be in a position to realise their potential.
"To give absolutely everything in every single game until the
end of the season," replied Wenger when asked to outline his aspirations
for his team heading into the festive period.
"I believe that with the injuries coming back we will have a much stronger squad than we had for the past two months.
"I believe 2015 can be very exciting if we manage to get our injured players back and have a good run.
"Finishing in the top four is always the minimum required here.
We have the Champions League and we have the FA Cup and we want to come
back in a much stronger position in the Premier League, and I think we
will.
"Our Christmas is not an easy schedule - it's a tough schedule.
There are three games in a very short period of time and we can make up
points.
"It's a period where you have an opportunity to make points. Our
opponents will think that as well, but let's just put the performances
in and capitalise on it."
