Chelsea travel to take on Derby County at Pride Park at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Derby County was back in October 2001, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
