Former England international Ashley Young could face his 18-year-old son Tyler when Everton hosts Peterborough in the third round of the FA Cup.

Ashley Young says he is ‘gutted’ after he was denied the chance to play against his son Tyler during Everton’s 2-0 win over Peterborough in the FA Cup on Thursday night. The father and son duo were set to make FA Cup history by playing against each other in their third-round tie at Goodison Park.
