Academy Director Steve Harper said: "The UEFA Youth League is a brilliant benchmark for our young players, not just in terms of footballing ability but in how they prepare, travel and represent the club on a European stage.
"It's a chance to test themselves against some of the best Academies in the world and we've seen first-hand how those experiences accelerate growth both on and off the pitch.
"We're excited by the challenge ahead and confident our lads will embrace every moment of the journey."
