World champions Arsenal, inspired by their Matildas duo of Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley, have kept up the feelgood factor at the Emirates Stadium by earning a huge 1-0 win over runaway Women's Super League leaders Manchester City.
Yet while the form of Foord and Catley again spelt good news for Australia's Asian Cup challenge next month, the absence of Mary Fowler and just another bit part for Sam Kerr for Chelsea on Sunday raised further question marks about the two superstars' readiness for the fray back home in just over three weeks time.
Just as last weekend when they were key figures in Arsenal's FIFA Women's Champions Cup final triumph at the Emirates Stadium, Foord, the matchwinning goalscorer against Corinthians, and Catley had accomplished afternoons as the Gunners won with a superb 17th minute goal from Olivia Smith.
