Gareth Barry equals Ryan Giggs' Premier League appearance record

Gareth Barry has equalled Ryan Giggs' all-time Premier League appearance record after being named in the West Bromwich Albion team to face West Ham.

Barry, 36, made his 631st appearance as West Brom lost 3-1 to Brighton last Saturday to move within one of former Manchester United winger Giggs' record and will make his 632nd against West Ham.

The midfielder left Everton to join West Brom on a one-year contract in the summer and has gone on to start four Premier League games since.

During the game against Brighton, Barry faced his 45th opponent in the Premier League.
