Six times brothers played against each other as Ryan and Steven Sessegnon set for FA Cup clash | OneFootball

Chance for history to be made in fourth round of contest

Twins Steven and Ryan Sessegnon could play against each other in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, when Wigan host Fulham.

The pair could make history after Tyler Young failed to make it onto the pitch to play against his father, Ashley Young, in the third round between Everton and Peterborough last month.

It is thought this might be the first time twins have shared a pitch for an FA Cup match but it is far from the first time that brothers have played in the same game.

Here are six times brothers have found themselves on opposing teams.

Granit and Taulant Xhaka

Ex-Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka chose to play for Switzerland, his country of birth, rather than Albania, where the family descend from.

But he appeared to regret his decision and advised his brother to instead play for Albania, which Taulant did and the pair played against each other at Euro 2016. Their mother wore a half-and-half T-shirt.

Will and Michael Keane

The Manchester-born Keanes became the first twins to play against each other in the Premier League in 2016. Defender Michael came up against striker Will in an otherwise run-of-the-mill clash between their respective sides, Burnley and Hull.

Like the Xhakas, they also play for different national teams, with Michael representing the Three Lions and Will choosing to play for Ireland.

Speaking of which, the Boateng brothers upped the ante in 2014 by turning out against each other at the World Cup.

Filippo and Simone Inzaghi

Filippo Inzaghi had a more successful playing career than his fellow goal hanger, Simone, winning the Champions League twice with Milan – scoring twice in the 2007 final.

However, younger brother Simone has now established a superior managerial career and has won Serie A with Inter to reset the bragging rights in the Inzaghi household.

Gary and Phil Neville

This one is included just to remind you of the time the pair captained Manchester United (Gary) and Everton (Phil) but refused to look at each other in the tunnel.

The brothers are now back on speaking terms and reunited in the coaching staff during Gary’s ill-fated tenure as Valencia manager.

Kolo and Yaya Toure

The Ivory Coast siblings did play together at club level for Manchester City and Arsenal (as well as for one preseason friendly against Barnet).

But when Kolo left City for Liverpool, they were on the pitch at the same time when the two clubs played in 2014.
