James 5,322 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 We last met Derby in the FA Cup third round in 1988, with Chelsea winning 3-1. Chelsea have faced Derby County 104 times in history in all competitions and the latter boast a better record in wins and goals scored - 38 to 37 and 153 to 152 respectively. Chelsea havent lost an FA Cup third round tie since losing 5-3 against Man Utd in 1998. Derby have lost all six of their FA Cup encounters with Premier League sides over the last 16 years. Chelsea have won six of their last seven meetings with Derby. Derby were FA Cup winners for the only time in 1946. Chelsea have won the competition seven times, with all seven of their FA Cup victories coming between 1970 and 2012. Chelsea last met Derby in March 2008 at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea winning 6-1. This is the seventh FA Cup meeting between Derby and Chelsea. Each team has won twice and there have been two draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Those stats point to a nice banana skin, the Wally with the Brolly seems to have galvanised them of late. Would rank them as a 'sleeping giant ' like Wolves, as they used to be a top club. That said we should overwhelm them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
