Reading manager Brian McDermott insists he will continue his 'fearless' approach and target only victory at Manchester City on Saturday.

Belief

Reading have secured just one victory in the Premier League - against Everton in November - since winning promotion last season. But McDermott is undeterred in his belief that Reading can pick up their second win of the Premier League season against the champions. "Anything's possible in football. We know what we're coming up against, we know what a fantastic side they've put together, we're going to play the champions," said McDermott. "I'm just looking forward to the occasion, I'm looking forward to the opportunity, and we'll see what the result is. "We have to make sure we've got our shape right, we need to be prepared. "We went there in the Championship for the quarter-final of the FA Cup and we were unfortunate to lose to a late goal, so we know what we're coming up against. "We've got to keep going and wait for it to break for us, and when it does we've got to be ready."
