Michael Carrick says Manchester United teammate Carlos Tevez is primed for a big game today at Manchester City.

"Carlos looks in really good shape," said Carrick. "He has settled in fantastically and was brilliant the other night.

"The quality he has on the ball is fantastic and his movement is so clever.

"He has already shown glimpses of the reason why the club were so desperate to get him. I am sure he will have a fantastic season."
