Young's son, Tyler, does play for the Posh, but to this date has clocked up a little under 30 minutes of first-team action.

Ashley Young has become a regular for Everton since joining the Merseyside club from Aston Villa in 2023.

Speaking ahead of the eye-catching FA Cup tie, Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson said: "Ash has put me under a bit of pressure there," referring to a social media post by Young - in which he hinted at playing against his son.

"I'll have to find a way of getting Tyler involved," added Ferguson, who is - funnily enough - the son of former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

He continued: "It's a great story, let's deal with that when it comes around.

"These are the kind of stories the FA Cup does bring up and it would be another good one."
