Ryan Giggs thinks Gareth Barry could play 700 Premier League games as West Brom midfielder prepares to equal Welsh legend's record

Ryan Giggs has tipped Gareth Barry to reach 700 Premier League appearances.

Former England midfielder Barry is set to equal Giggs' record of 632 games when West Brom host West Ham on Saturday.

The 36-year-old looked like falling short of the mark after losing his starting place at Everton last season, leading to speculation he could drop down to the Championship with former club Aston Villa.

Instead Barry landed a move to The Hawthorns and is still proving his Premier League pedigree in the Baggies' encouraging start to the season.
