Steve Clarke reveals his plans to use virtually all of his West Bromwich Albion squad over the Christmas period.

West Bromwich Albion manager Steven Clarke has told his entire squad to be ready for the busy festive period.

Saturday's trip to Arsenal will start a run of six matches in just over three weeks for the Baggies.

Due to such a hectic schedule, Clarke has revealed that he is prepared to use all of his squad members to ensure that his players remain as a fresh as possible.

"This is when the squad will be tested," said Clarke. "They will all be asked to step forward and make the contribution that up until now they have all made.

"Every time they've been asked to come in they have done really well for us.

"We have got a good squad with good depth and over the coming weeks they will be used and tested to the maximum."

Clarke's side are currently fifth in the Premier League table.
