Most football fans are familiar with Everton full-back Young, 39, who played 39 times for England between 2007 and 2018. But what about his son Tyler? Here’s everything you need to know about him – plus what he and his father have said ahead of tonight’s clash….

Tyler Young is an 18-year-old midfielder who plays for Peterborough in League One – the third-tier of English football – two steps below his dad. Joining the club in 2024, Young wears the No.38 shirt and made his debut for the Posh in October 2024, during a 2-0 EFL Trophy win over Stevenage, which remains his only senior appearance for Peterborough to date.
Young started his career at the age of nine with Arsenal and spent a decade in the Hale End academy before he was released last year. He is yet to make his league debut for Peterborough, and if he plays against Everton in the FA Cup, it will mark his second overall appearance to date.
Ashley Young, asked who his partner and the rest of the family will be cheering on, told talkSPORT: ‘Let’s put it this way… they’ve not got Everton shirts, so they’ve all gone and leaned towards Tyler’s side. ‘I even think my own parents are actually leaning towards Tyler’s side as well. So I’m just out here cheering on myself.
