Ashley Young Poised to Face Son Tyler in Historic FA Cup Match

The Everton defender, 39, could play against his 18-year-old son Tyler, a Peterborough midfielder, in a rare father-son football encounter.

Ashley Young, a former England international and FA Cup winner, has described the potential matchup against his son Tyler as the pinnacle of his career.
Tyler Young, who plays for League One team Peterborough United, is expected to be on the substitutes' bench for the FA Cup third-round tie at Goodison Park.
This would mark a historic moment in football, with no known previous instances of a father facing his son in the FA Cup rounds proper.
Ashley Young emphasized that once the match begins, he will view Tyler as just another opponent, while Tyler joked about trying to outplay his father on the pitch.
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson praised Tyler's talent and confirmed his selection was based on merit, noting the influence of Ashley as a role model.
