Derby County play host to Portsmouth at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 10 of the 42 games.
The last time the two teams met at Derby County was just over four years ago, in November 2002, with Portsmouth inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rams in a League Division One match.
