Goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold is confident the Westfield Matildas will be unaffected by the tag of favourites for April's AFC Women's Asian Cup.

Australia are set to enter the tournament in Jordan as the top-ranked nation after surging to fourth in the world on the back of a record-breaking 2017.

An increase in expectation could add pressure as they attempt to win the continental competition for the second time, but Arnold says the group remain grounded.
