Rover fans plan another "Kean Out" protest, and with his team bottom of the table, it is debatable whether Steve Kean deserves support. Yakubu Ayegbeni insists the manager has it from the team, to which Kean could reply that it was a pity they were not showing it on the field. For Sunday, Míchel Salgado joins David Dunn, Vince Grella and Ryan Nelsen on the injured list. Despite another crop of casualties, to which they seem particularly prone, the odds favour Tottenham, who are unbeaten in their last nine in all competitions. Ledley King is yet again among the absentees, who also include William Gallas, Michael Dawson and Vedrun Corluka. Joe Lovejoy
