The win represented a fourth Premier League success on the trot and ensured the Baggies climbed above Chelsea, for 24 hours at least, with the Blues taking on leaders Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
But when asked whether he thought his side could qualify for the Champions League, Clarke responded: "I don't know. I don't know is the honest answer.
"All I know is up until now, we have done very well. We have had a lot of plaudits and the players deserve it because so far, we have been a really good team.
"But you don't get carried away in the Premier League. We are still this side of Christmas, there are a lot of games to be played, a lot of points to be fought for.
"Our focus is on Wednesday night, that's as far ahead as we look.
"I don't dream too much, I'm a realist. I knew the squad of players I was taking over was a good squad, I knew it was a squad comfortable in the Premier League.
"They had finished mid-table and mid-table with 47 points both seasons. We knew we had added some good players to the squad, and we were hopeful that we could have a good season.
"So far, we have done okay."
