JAMES McArthur certainly puts in the mileage when he steps foot on a football pitch.
And that was again evident on Saturday by the Crystal Palace midfielder with yet another workhorse performance in the middle of the park at Leicester City.
The interceptions and dirty work can sometimes goes unnoticed, but the Scottish international insists he's just doing his job.
So, what's the secret to his high level of performance?
"Lots of sugar!," joked the Eagles star, who helped his side keep a clean sheet in the 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium.
"It's part of my game to be fit. I may not have that flair that some of the players have in the team but I need to make sure my energy levels are high and help the team.
"That's what I bring to the table."
McArthur admitted it wasn't the prettiest of victories in the East Midlands, but three points is three points, and the win saw Palace move six points clear of the relegation zone.
"I thought the win it was vitally important and the manager was looking for a reaction from us. He got that," he said.
"At times it was very ugly but when you're down the bottom you need to be and resolute, which we were.
"It was also important to getting back to clean sheets."
