Brendan Rodgers is confident his Reading side can push on from last weekend's 3-1 triumph against Coventry to register their first victory at the Madejski Stadium in 10 months.

The Royals have had a troubled start to the new campaign and lie just one place and a single point above the Championship relegation zone, and face Roy Keane's struggling Ipswich - themselves coming into the game on the back of their first win of the season last Saturday.

Rodgers has seen an improvement in recent games however, and believes his troops will have enough to see off the Tractor Boys.

He told the club's official website: "We've had a couple of good performances and also a good result at Coventry.

"It should be a very good game this weekend and we will take a positive attitude into it. This home run will not go on forever. The run will end, we hope it's on Saturday.

"It will be two good sides and you wouldn't think it was two teams where we are in the table; one in the bottom three and one just outside. The most important thing is to perform well, a win would kick us on."
