Glenn Murray says Brighton will be on a high heading into their hectic festive period.
The Seagulls are unbeaten in five after coming behind twice to draw 2-2 at home against Stoke on Monday night, sitting ninth in the table.
After a visit to Manchester United on the weekend, next Tuesday's derby against rivals Crystal Palace at the Amex will be the start of 10 games within six weeks.
But the striker believes that Brighton have the quality and depth in their ranks to get through the tough winter schedule.
"We showed great character to come back twice. The unbeaten run is massive for us," said the 34-year-old.
"We're coming into a really important part of the season over the festive period.
"We have a strong squad and I feel we have players that can step in, no doubt. I'm sure the gaffer will make changes when we have games coming thick and fast."
The Seagulls face a daunting trip to face Manchester United, who are unbeaten at home this calendar year and have a 100 per cent record at Old Trafford this season.
But Murray says the squad are looking forward to the trip as a reward for their promotion out of the Championship last season.
Murray said: "It's always nice to go and play the big teams at the big stadiums. That's what we looked forward to when we got promoted last year.
"Every game in the Premier League is going to be tough and United is no exception. We're under no illusions that we'll be in for a tough afternoon."
