Marcus Rashford will be bidding to score in his ninth straight game at Old Trafford when Manchester United welcome Manchester City for the Manchester derby on Saturday afternoon.
The England international became the first Red Devils player since Wayne Rooney in March 2010 to register in eight straight home appearances when he netted twice against Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
Rashford has been in brilliant form for Man United this season, scoring 15 goals and registering six assists in 25 appearances in all competitions.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has scored in each of his six appearances for the 20-time English champions since the action resumed following the 2022 World Cup.
Rashford will be hoping to inspire Erik ten Hag's side to a ninth straight victory in all competitions when Man City visit Old Trafford in the Premier League this weekend.

Rashford has faced Man City on 16 occasions during his professional career, and he boasts a record of five wins, two draws and nine defeats against them.
In the Premier League, the forward has won four, drawn two and lost seven of his 13 fixtures with the Citizens, in addition to winning one and losing two of his three EFL Cup matches with Pep Guardiola's side.
Rashford has scored four goals and registered one assist in his 16 games against Man City, with three of those strikes coming in the Premier League.
The forward famously found the back of the net in his first ever appearance against the Citizens at senior level, netting in a 1-0 success at the Etihad Stadium in the latter stages of the 2015-16 campaign.

Rashford's second goal against Man City came in a 2-1 loss for Man United at Old Trafford during the 2017-18 campaign, while he also netted at the Etihad Stadium in 2019-20.
The Englishman was also on the scoresheet in a 3-1 defeat for the Red Devils in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals during the 2019-20 campaign.
Rashford has lost his last three Manchester derbies in the Premier League, including a 6-3 defeat at the Etihad Stadium in England's top flight back in October.
The forward was missing for Man United's 2-0 win over Man City at Old Trafford in 2020, so he has not been part of a Red Devils side that have beaten the Citizens at home in the Premier League, which is a record that he will be desperate to end on Saturday afternoon.
