The 30-year-old and his centre-back partner Dan Scarr have both played 90 minutes in nine out of 10 games in all competitions this season.

Despite the hectic schedule of Saturday and Tuesday league games, the pair have been a mainstay in the starting XI at the heart of defence.

With the schedule not relenting in the coming weeks, Clarke believes the duo are capable of handling it as they prepare to face Barrow.

“I’m sure Scarrsy will say the same, I’d like to play every game,” the captain said.

“But if I apply myself properly and Scarrsy does to then there’s no reason why we can’t (play every game).

“We’ll rest up and come in fresh ready to work on the plan. Put this game (Bradford) to bed, work on the next one and take each game as it comes.”

Walsall come into the game unbeaten while Barrow enter having yet to win in the league this season.
