Royals boss Mark Bowen wants to see fight in his side as they face Cardiff in the league.

It will be the second time Reading have faced Cardiff in seven days, and comes four days ahead of their FA Cup fourth round replay against the same opposition.

"When you go to Cardiff, there's no hiding place," Bowen told 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Ady Williams. "They'll put demands on you, and we've got to answer those demands.

"We've got to make sure we combat that, and at the same time play our game.

"I won't give up... we've got to try to get back to winning games, because that's the thing that takes you up the table."
