Kyle Walker has revealed Manchester City will be training on Christmas Day to reverse the team's horrendous recent form.
The Premier League champions have previously been a rare side who were given December 25 off to enjoy the festivities.
That came as a reward for their domestic dominance that has seen the club win six of the last seven Premier League titles.
However, Walker admitted City will be dragged into training on Christmas to prepare for their crucial Boxing Day clash against Everton at 12:30pm, live and exclusive on talkSPORT.
The defender told the You'll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast: "We've been fortunate over the past couple of seasons that we haven't had to train on Christmas Day...most do.
"We are doing this season because obviously we've got Everton at 12:30 on Boxing Day but the last couple of seasons I know that we've had Christmas Day off, which has been very nice.”
If Walker is reading this, talkSPORT have a handy guide to what he can expect from players who have trained on December 25.

Paraguay star Julio Enciso sparked rumours he will look to quit Brighton in January after seemingly waving goodbye to fans.
The playmaker has found minutes hard to come by at club level this season following his late return from the Paris Olympics this summer.
Enciso managed just 22 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Ham before an emotional wave to the away fans.
The 20-year-old then doubled down on the gesture by uploading a picture of the exchange on Instagram, alongside a wave emoji.
However, Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler kept tight-lipped over Enciso's actions in this morning's press conference.
The Seagulls boss said: "He is doing a really good and training really hard."
"There is so much on social media, that is not my topic.
They are all lads trying their best, it's not a personal assault, but they are not good enough to play for Manchester United, because this club aims to be at the top.
"The same as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea - those clubs aim to be top, but you have got to get there.
"It's quite clear watching these players, they are not good enough."

Manchester United's recent issues with leaks extended to the Old Trafford press conference room with water dripping on reporters as Ruben Amorim spoke to the media on Sunday.
A week that started with discussion about the line-up getting into the public domain on the eve of the derby against Manchester City ended in a different type of leak hitting the club.
Amorim had just finished addressing Sunday's chastening 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth and had began to preview the Boxing Day trip to Wolves when the Old Trafford media room ceiling sprung a leak.
Water began dripping from a light fitting on reporters sat in the front row, leading to puzzlement in the room - including from the United boss - and a journalist being advised to switch seats mid-press conference.
It was a farcical moment at the end of an embarrassing day for a side that will spend Christmas sat 13th in the Premier League after being stunned by the Cherries.
The leak also underlines just why United are looking at building a new stadium rather than developing a ground that has been allowed to deteriorate over recent years.
Back in May, a storm wreaked havoc at Old Trafford towards the end of a Premier League match against Arsenal.
If you took out Liverpool’s goalkeeper, two centre-backs and a left-back - or any team other than Liverpool, they'd find it tough going as well."

Liverpool have now equalled the Premier League record.
They've now scored and conceded multiple goals in four successive top-flight away games.
It's only been done by Manchester United in 1994, Newcastle in 2003 and West Ham in 2016 before.
Gakpo then plays a square ball which bounced off Archie Gray and Dominik Szoboszlai before falling to Salah.
That's 14 goals in 16 Premier League games this season!
He's also drawn level with Liverpool legend Billy Liddell for overall goals for the club with 228.
