King relishing Rovers test

02 April 2009 18:45
Ledley King is anticipating a difficult game against Blackburn on Saturday but has urged Tottenham to maintain their fine form. Spurs' relegation fears have eased following a run of good results which has seen them go unbeaten through their last six Premier League games. Qualification for next season's UEFA Europa League is now a realistic possibility and King is looking to pick up three points at Ewood Park. Blackburn will also be desperate for victory and they have improved under new boss Sam Allardyce, but King is relishing the physical battle that could be in store. "Things are looking up, we're in good form and these are the games you have to go and win when you are in that form," said the defender. "We've been in good form in the past and notoriously we'd go and slip up in a game like this. It's a big test for us now. "It's always a tough place to go, they are a physical side and over the last few seasons most of the games have been very close. You know that you are in for a difficult game up there and I'd expect nothing different. "Their fans will get behind them and it's up to us to keep them quiet and play our game. "We've been better away from home of late, we've found a formula that works for us and we'll be looking to that again."
