Evans relishing tough run for Baggies

West Brom defender Jonny Evans believes the Baggies will relish getting their season back on track after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Everton.

The defeat was Albion’s second on the spin after going down to Palace last week and Evans admits the squad has been jolted by a dip in standards after a stellar season thus far.

The Baggies will now prepare for Arsenal’s visit to the Hawthorns on Saturday as they look to break the 50-point mark having achieved 40 points so early, the mythical figure expected to guarantee Premier League survival.

And Evans believes the prospect of taking on another top-six side is just what his side needs at this stage.

“There’s a few tough games for us to come towards the end of the season, but that’s the Premier League for you,” he said.

“Sometimes the tough games can be the best games to play in.

“We want to go into them and express ourselves and hopefully get a better outcome than the one we got at Goodison Park.

“Our league position is nice but we have been disappointed with our last two performances.

“They haven’t been to the level that we have been used to this season.

“We were playing against a good team who are above us in the league and who are looking to break into the top six.”
