Fulham captain Danny Murphy has insisted that his side are capable of beating Manchester City ahead of their match on Sunday.

The Cottagers, who are still looking for their first league win under manager Martin Jol, face a Citizens side who have dropped no points so far this season in the Premier League.

However, the 34-year-old is confident that the London club can beat any of the best sides in England.

"We can win the game, because we've shown before against good quality opposition that we can, especially at the Cottage," Murphy is quoted as saying in The Mirror. "So bring it on.

"It's going to need a hell of a performance from us, but what better way to get your first win than against one of the best sides in the Premier League?

"We showed last year that we're capable of getting results against the better sides. You've got to play these teams and try to believe you can win - sometimes teams are finished before they get out on the pitch."

Fulham have found the back of the net just twice in four outings this Premier League campaign, while Roberto Mancini's side have scored 15 times.
