Well, that’s a bit different. Montemurro’s has opted for youth at the back and experience at the front today. It’s great to see Charlie Rule getting her third Matildas start. She was impressive in her Asian Cup appearance and has been dependable for Brighton (including in that upset win over Arsenal last weekend). Of course Catley and Hunt are injured, so it’s the perfect chance to have a look at an entirely new back four.
And Chidiac! After missing out on minutes in the Asian Cup she will finally get a chance to start making her case for the 2027 World Cup, and could be key to getting through the Malawi defence if they stay deep.
