Everton's Young set to face 18-year-old son in dream FA Cup clash

Everton defender Ashley Young could be in for a dream family clash in the FA Cup third round when his team faces Peterborough United, where his 18-year-old son Tyler plays.

Peterborough head to Goodison Park next month, and Young is eager to see his son in action at the League One club where he made his professional debut this season.

"Dreams might come true," Young said on social media Friday.

Young, a former England international, has made an impressive 724 appearances for renowned clubs including as Watford, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Inter Milan.

The 39-year-old is in a similar situation as LeBron James and his son Bronny, who became the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA regular-season game for the Los Angeles Lakers in October.

The third round will take place during the weekend of January 11-12, with 44 Premier League and second-tier Championship clubs joining the 20 lower-league and non-league sides who won in the previous round.
