LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King will be rested for Thursday's UEFA Cup tie at home to Dinamo Zagreb because the Premier League's bottom club need the defender to be fit for their bid to climb off the foot of the table.

"If I play Ledley tomorrow he'll miss (the Manchester City game on) Sunday," Redknapp told reporters.

"We are in a position where we need to keep picking up points, that is the key." King has struggled with a perennial knee problem in recent years.
