History of the Derby County v Manchester City fixture

Derby County play host to Manchester City at Pride Park on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, winning 51.06% of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Derby County was back in January 2001, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Derby County's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Rams have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Man. City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Derby County find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 23 games have yielded only 7 points. Man. City's 40 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 7th position.
