Bernardo Silva relishing Man City's festive fixture pile-up

Pep Guardiola's side are amid a run of 13 games in six weeks, but their Portuguese playmaker welcomes England's traditional busy Christmas period

Bernardo Silva is enjoying the fast and furious nature of Manchester City's festive schedule as Pep Guardiola's side head into the busiest period of their season.

The defending Premier League champions are amid a sequence of 13 matches in just six weeks across all competitions, a run that includes crunch league clashes with Chelsea and Liverpool as well as a Carabao Cup quarter-final at Leicester City.

English football's traditionally hectic festive fixture list has often been a bone of contention among managers, but Silva - who joined City from Monaco in 2017 - is relishing the busy calendar.
