Australia will hope their strongest side can cause USA some problems in Marseille with captain Steph Catley, who scored twice and got two assists in the 11-goal classic against Zambia, one of their key players.

Michelle Heyman was the hero on Sunday, scoring the late winner after coming off the bench, so she is among those pushing for a start if coach Tony Gustavsson decides to make changes.
