Monchengladbach's Fabian Johnson ready for Bayern Munich challenge

Borussia Mochengladbach full-back Fabian Johnson has vowed that the North Rhine-Westphalia club will continue with an attack-minded impetus when they host Bundesliga table-toppers Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Undefeated since the appointment of manager Andre Schubert, Saturday's fixture will be a tilt between the German top-flight's two hottest sides.

Mochengladbach has not experienced defeat since a Sept. 19 1-0 loss at FC Koln and are unbeaten in their last ten Bundesliga matches, vaulting Die Fohlen into fourth place in the table while scoring the third-most goals in the league.

"They should also feel that we are on a roll," the U.S. international told reporters after a weekend win over Hoffenheim, courtesy of ESPN FC.

"We are in top form, play courageously and step on the gas in attack. Why should we change that against Bayern?"

Nothing less than ambitious, Mochengladbach are looking to become only the second side to defeat Bayern this season, and first in the league after Arsenal dispatched them 2-0 at the Emirates in Champions League action.
