Derby County prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 12 of the 58 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a F.A. Cup match.
