Steve Kean is confident that Blackburn Rovers will not be relegated this season.

Steve Kean believes that his Blackburn Rovers side will fight off the threat of relegation this season.

Rovers are currently bottom of the Premier League with 11 points from their opening 18 matches.

However, the manager has insisted that the club will climb the table when players return from injury and they make some additions during the January transfer window.

"Of course we are [confident of survival], absolutely no question," Kean told Sky Sports News. "There have been a number of games where we have just fallen the wrong side of decisions.

"I think we should already have six or seven more points, even though we have got so many defenders out injured.

"We are really confident if we have a good [transfer] window, which I am sure we will, and get these defenders back, then we will really fly out of the blocks in the second part of the season."

Blackburn claimed a 1-1 draw from their trip to Liverpool yesterday afternoon.
