Captain Chris Samba believes Blackburn Rovers will soon start climbing the table.

Rovers are anxious to kick-start their Barclays Premier League campaign after failing to register a win in their opening four matches.

Steve Kean's men are bottom of the table with just one point and some disgruntled supporters are planning to stage a march to demand the manager's removal prior to this weekend's kick-off.

Yet Samba feels that is unnecessary as performances have deserved far better and he is convinced Rovers have the game to worry the Gunners.

The highly-rated Congo defender, who was linked with a move to Arsenal during the summer, said: "If you are a football player you shouldn't be scared of any team.

"It is a home game and it is up to us to make it a living hell for them when they come here.

"It is simple, we must to do our best to make sure they don't play as they want to, make it horrible for them.

"We are so unlucky to be talking about this. With a bit of luck we would not be here, we would have four or five points and be in the middle of the table, comfortably.

"We have shown we can play good football but at the moment we are not winning.

"We do look like a good team and we just need a fraction to be a great team."

Samba, 27, added: "I am not too worried myself. We create so many chances every game and play well.

"I know the quality we have got in the squad.

"Everton - I will not forget that game for a long time.

"It was extraordinary, we dominated at both ends and it was looking like an easy game.

"To go out with nothing was frustrating, but that is football.

"A win would be very good, it would relieve a bit of pressure and all the talk but, from the past, you can see this is not the first time we have had something like this.

"We will be successful against adversity.

"Last season people said we would go down but we didn't.

"Every year it is the same, we are used to it. We are going to prove that is wrong. We will do it again."

A number of supporters are concerned about the direction of the club under Venky's and Kean and organisers are hoping 1,000 will join the march before the Arsenal game.

Samba believes their frustration is being misdirected and said: "When you hear something like that, it is not really pleasant for the players and it is the last thing we need.

"The fans are like a 12th man for us and it is a shame because we need them.

"They can make the game very difficult for Arsenal.

"It is up to us players to stick together because we are all in this together.

"The fans are part of that.

"When you win, everything changes, the mood changes. We need to win.

"We have the spirit to get our first win and it would be fantastic if it could come tomorrow.

"When it comes it will be a big relief for all of us - fans, management, everybody.

"We are all together in the same bag so we need to stick together.

"They should come and be with us rather than against us."

"As soon as we get our first win I am sure things will change and we will climb the table."
