Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra isn't complaining about the busy festive schedule.
A clash with Stoke City will be their fourth game in nine days, before a short break that precedes an FA Cup tie with Liverpool and a mouth-watering Premier League trip to Tottenham.
Not that Evra is complaining.
"Yes, it is difficult for the body. Yes, we are tired. But it is also a privilege," he said.
"Some people have to get up at 6am and do something they don't like. This is England. It is the best football in the world."
