The Bayern Munich coach saw his side beaten 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the last round of fixtures as Arsenal reacted to losing their opening two group fixtures.
Arsene Wenger's men are unbeaten on the previous two outings and Guardiola believes the Frenchman will be looking to utilise in-form striker Olivier Giroud to keep that record alive.
"They will not park the bus, but attack," he told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
"Arsenal is a top team in Europe. They are strong enough. Arsenal want to attack, but it's difficult against us with our good pressing game.
"They will play a lot of high passes to Olivier Giroud. We did not allow them do to so in the first game."
Wednesday could prove to be an entertaining evening as Guardiola, too, will not be looking to simply settle for a share of the spoils.
"We lost in London, that can happen," the former Barcelona boss added.
"Wednesday is a new game and with our fans behind us we can win the game. I hope everything will be fine.
"I think we played well in London. But a defeat sometimes happens on such a high level.
"I've never gone into a game to play for a draw.
"If it should so come at the end then okay. But if you can get three points, then you should do everything you can."
