History of the Derby County v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Wolves pack their bags to visit Derby County at Pride Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wolves 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 previous match played between the two at Pride Park was within the last three years, in August 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 4 winners in a League Division One match.
