The Young Lions are seeking a place in May's Euro Championship Finals in Slovakia.
With only one team from the four heading to the Finals, it's an important stage for England who include four under-age players in the squad.
Manager John Peacock has chosen to call on them for the Elite Round.
He said: "We are now getting to the crucial end of the season, which we have all been preparing for. The prize of reaching the UEFA U17 Finals is a significant one, with the top team here qualifying for what is a really important event in Slovakia."
Should England qualify for the finals, it will mean they have an opportunity to seal a spot in the FIFA U17 World Cup, which is held in UAE later this year.
Squad: Goalkeepers: Angus Gunn (Manchester City), Freddie Woodman (Newcastle United). Defenders: Josh Aina (Chelsea), Joseph Gomez (Charlton Athletic), Connor Ogilvie (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Smith-Brown (Manchester City) Ben O'Hanlon (Wolverhampton Wanderers). Midfielders: Bamidele Alli (MK Dons), Kean Bryan (Manchester City), Charlie Colkett (Chelsea), Bryn Morris (Middlesbrough), Ruben Loftus Cheek (Chelsea), Dan Crowley (Aston Villa). Attackers: Mason Bennett (Derby County), George Green (Everton), Alex Kiwomya (Chelsea), Jerome Sinclair (Liverpool).
