"Sanchez has worked hard to be back and available again," Wenger told a news conference on Thursday. "He looks ready, he has not played for long time so I will have to decide what I do with him. Wenger said Sanchez had not been distracted by the transfer speculation and did not rule out the possibility of the Chilean committing to fresh terms. "I want Alex... to be one of the big players for the future, one of the players the team can be built around," Wenger added. Centre back Laurent Koscielny is back from suspension for the trip to Anfield, where Arsenal have not won in the league since 2012.
