Gareth Barry says the Everton players are looking at staying unbeaten for the remainder of the season.

The Toffees have not lost in their past six Premier League outings - winning five - and the challenge is now there to get through the next four fixtures without tasting defeat according to Barry.

"It is a mini-target for us to try stay unbeaten until the end of the season," he told evertontv.

"We are on a good run at the moment so being around the training ground it is a much better place to be.

"You can never put your finger on one aspect but it is just the way it goes, if you are winning games everyone seems to be playing better.

"These sort of things come when you are winning games, if you are losing games you are not playing well so it is always much easier when you are in a team winning games."
