The Royals dumped Everton`s city rivals Liverpool out of the competition last season with a 2-1 win at Anfield en route to the last eight, and are confident of a repeat performance.
McDermott lines his team up with two genuine wingers in Jobi McAnuff and Jimmy Kebe and has promised that he will not compromise his attacking principles against David Moyes' side.
He said: "It's a great game, it's exactly what we want.
"We are trying to get into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the second year in a row and are playing against a team steeped in history with a great manager and good players.
"We are looking forward to having a real go and trying to get through. But we'll only enjoy it if we win and get through. Getting results is the only way to enjoy a game."
