QPR midfielder Karl Henry is up for his battle tonight with England ace Ross Barkley.

The Rs face Everton tonight.

Henry told the Daily Express: "Ross is a great player, but I played against him a few years ago when he was at Sheffield Wednesday and I thought he was okay that day.

"I'm not saying he was a bad player because he wasn't. But he wasn't a stand-out player for me.

"I've seen him go back to Everton and smash it last season. He's done ever so well. He's been extraordinary, he's a great talent, a really good player and one you can see playing at tone of the top couple of clubs at some stage in his career.

"It'll be tough keeping him quiet but he's the type of player I relish playing against."
