Michael Owen has received criticism from some quarters but Carragher says Owen is a big game player and will come good again against the Swiss.
Carragher said: "It's a chance for Michael to prove a few things and prove people wrong again.
"His name has not been up in lights so much this season but he's a big-game player. He always seems to do it on the big stage. He likes the pressure of playing for England and of people looking to him for goals."
