Marcus Rashford will be hoping to play a part in a Manchester derby win for Manchester United when the Red Devils head to the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The 27-year-old has seven goals and three assists in 24 appearances for the 20-time English champions during the 2024-25 campaign, including four goals and one assist in 15 outings in the Premier League.
Rashford was given a start against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday evening, but he found it difficult to make his mark and was replaced in the second half of what proved to be a 2-1 win for Ruben Amorim's side.
The Englishman is currently facing a battle to secure a position in Amorim's starting XI due to the competition for spots in the final third of the field.
Man United will be aiming to bounce back from successive losses in the Premier League when they head to a wounded Man City side, and with that in mind, Sports Mole looks at how Rashford has performed against the Citizens during his professional career.

Rashford has tackled the Citizens on 22 occasions during his time in the Man United first team, boasting a record of seven wins, two draws and 13 defeats, scoring six times and registering one assist.
Sixteen of those fixtures have taken place in the Premier League, with Rashford's record against Man City in England's top flight standing at five wins, two draws and nine defeats.
The forward has scored five times against the Citizens in the league, in addition to registering one assist, with his other goal against the reigning English champions coming in the EFL Cup semi-finals in 2019-20.
Rashford played the full 90 minutes of the 2002-23 FA Cup final but was unable to help Man United overcome Man City, with Pep Guardiola's side running out 2-1 winners on the afternoon.
However, he was a part of the Man United side that won 2-1 in the final of last season's competition.
The attacker's first-ever experience of the Manchester derby at senior level proved to be a positive one, as he scored the only goal of the match to help Man United triumph at the Etihad Stadium in 2016.
Rashford netted in two of his first four Premier League games against Man City, and he also scored in a 2-1 success for Man United at the Etihad Stadium during the 2019-20 campaign.
The Englishman could not prevent Man United from losing 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium in the league during the 2022-23 season, but he was on the scoresheet in the reverse game at Old Trafford, which the Red Devils won 2-1.
Rashford also played 86 minutes of his side's 3-0 home loss to the Citizens in the league in the first half of the 2023-24 campaign, before netting once in a 3-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium in the reverse fixture in March 2024.
At the start of the 2024-25 campaign, Rashford played 83 minutes of the Community Shield against Man City, with the match finishing 1-1 before Guardiola's side won 8-7 on penalties to secure the trophy.
