Derby County prepare to entertain Coventry City at Pride Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 31 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was just last season, in October 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division One match.
