Spurs star sends warning to West Ham

Sebastien Bassong has warned West Ham that Tottenham will bounce back from Tuesday night's Carling Cup hammering by Arsenal

Harry Redknapp played a second-string side against their north London rivals in the Carling Cup and paid the price as they were beaten 4-1 at White Hart Lane.

But the centre-back says West Ham could be in for a shock at Upton Park on Saturday when the likes of Rafael van der Vaart, Luka Modric and Heurelho Gomes are expected to return to the starting line-up.

"It is a bad thing for us to go out of the Carling Cup so early, but we need to bounce back," said the Frenchman.

"I don't think losing to Arsenal is going to affect us because we have a strong squad.

"It will be a test for us but we have a good squad and everybody in it can play well."
