Manchester City's struggling stars will be forced to sleep at the club's training ground overnight ahead of their 12.30pm Boxing Day showdown with Everton.
Pep Guardiola revealed that his charges will be dragged away from their family homes and insisted he hopes they embraces the measure with open arms.
City have lost nine of their last 12 matches, the worst run of Guardiola's managerial career, and last tasted victory on December 4 against Nottingham Forest.
Their stars were given the morning and afternoon with their loved ones, and it is not uncommon for footballers to be hauled later in on Christmas Day
They debuted the overnight sleeping measure in 2014, becoming the first Premier League club to do so, effectively using the 'Etihad Campus’ as a hotel the night before home games.
