Everton's Gareth Barry: 'West Bromwich Albion will be tough to break down'

Everton midfielder Gareth Barry has claimed that the team face a difficult task of trying to break down West Bromwich Albion when they go head to head at The Hawthorns this evening.

Roberto Martinez's side have had a positive start to the season having suffered just one defeat in six Premier League games.

The Toffees have picked up two victories and three draws, and they face a Baggies side who have not conceded a goal in their last three top-flight games.

"If you look at their results, they've had four clean sheets out of the last six league games and so they are going to be really tough to break down," Barry told the Liverpool Echo. "We'll be needing players like Gerard Deulofeu to be on top of their game to help us break them down."

Meanwhile, Deulofeu has claimed that he needs more minutes on the pitch after so far being restricted to the substitutes' bench.
