United have to wait until Wednesday night to find out who they'll face in the W-League finals.

If Sydney FC win or draw then they'll finish top and face Canberra in the semi-finals.

But if Victory win, then United face a trip to Melbourne.

That's not the only thing up in the air - Canberra could play either Sunday or Monday depending on the results.

United drew nil-all with Sydney on Friday and Heyman felt the way they played gave them a great chance to progress past the Sky Blues and into the grand final.

Plus the shorter travel was also something the 32-year-old preferred.

She was unsure whether the team would get together to watch the Sydney-Victory game, or whether she would tune in on the couch at home.

"We're definitely playing our best football now and having that pressure of must-win games is definitely working for us," Heyman said.

"So if we can continue that motto within our team I think we're going to be unstoppable.

"I think [I'd rather play] Sydney. I think the way we played against them on the weekend, we controlled the game and we were the better team, and we should've won."

While United have returned to the finals for the first time in four years, Heyman wasn't satisfied to finish there.

She's played in both of Canberra's W-League championships and has her sights set squarely on adding a third.

"Definitely happy for Canberra United, it's something we want to always want to achieve at this club [making finals]," Heyman said.

"But then I'm a winner and I want to continue to win. The grand final is what we thrive for so that's definitely what we're going for."

Canberra coach Vicki Linton didn't mind who they played either way - she's already done the analysis on both teams in recent weeks.

What was harder to plan for was not knowing when they play.

It's less than a week until their semi-final and it could be held on either Easter Sunday or Monday.

They won't know until the final whistle blows on Wednesday night.

"That's actually tougher than the football side I think. How does that affect our training week, the logistics of doing that - that's the hard thing," Linton said.

"While I'm across that it's not my responsibility I'm still aware of that and that's difficult - and I think that's harder than the football aspect."
