Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici hopes his side can make home advantage count on Tuesday night when United visit the Madejski Stadium.

The Royals entertain the Reds in the FA Cup fifth round replay following the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford nine days ago. Federici was in inspired form during the first match and he's hoping to make it another frustrating evening for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

"I genuinely thought we had a chance [to win the first game]," Federici told the Reading Evening Chronicle.

"To be the underdogs, play in front of 70,000 and almost sneak a 2-1 win is definitely a highlight of my career. It felt unreal. It was a great game for the neutral and a great feeling when the final whistle blew.

"I made a couple of good saves but the one from Henrik Larsson was probably the best," added the Australian. "I didn't think I'd save it but I just got a finger to it.

"We'll have another go at United on Tuesday. It won't be nice for them to come to us and if we can frustrate them again, perhaps we can get the win."
