Arsenal Women's manager Jonas Eidevall plans to have his team face the men's Under 16s in an attempt to get them ready for the teams they'll face in the Champions League.
Eidevall's Arsenal side missed out on the Women's Super League title despite beating West Ham on the final day.
Chelsea's 4-2 win against Manchester United saw them crowned champions, finishing a point above the Gunners.
Speaking in the wake of the final day, Eidevall told The Athletic: 'we have to have a good cooperation with our boys' academy to involve them in practices and internal games, so we can play against something more physical and faster than we will ever play against in the Champions League, in order to set the benchmark,' the Swede says.
