Arsene Wenger has warned Alexis Sanchez he will have earn his place back in Arsenal's starting line-up after his failed attempt to force a move to Manchester City.

Sanchez was close to joining City before last month's transfer deadline after his refusal to sign a new contract. But the deal fell through leaving the Chile forward in the awkward position.
With West Brom visiting the Emirates Stadium tonight, Wenger insisted the Sanchez would only return to his strongest starting team if his form justifies it. Asked if the former Barcelona player was central to his plans, Wenger said: "Not more than any other.
There is no real hierarchy. I have six or seven strikers but if I go in one game with three strikers, the three who have not played will play in mid-week no matter what game that is. But that is nothing calculated. There is no disguised attitude on my side."
