Twin brothers Jack and Tyler Fletcher are set to face each other in Lithuania on Tuesday when England face Scotland in the European Under-19 qualifiers.
The pair, sons of former Manchester United midfielder and current Under-18 coach Darren, have elected to play for different international teams, with Jack choosing the country of his birth and Tyler playing for his dad's.
Jack, who was on the bench for United's Premier League draw at Tottenham immediately before the international break, already knows England are through to the next stage after victories over Lithuanian and Latvia.
By contrast, Tyler knows Scotland must win to stand any chance of advancing after drawing with Latvia, then getting beaten by Lithuania.
Though they both play in midfield for United's Under-21 side, Jack featured at left-back in England's 7-0 defeat of Latvia. Tyler is Scotland skipper for this tournament and scored in their 2-2 draw with Latvia last week.
