Derby 0-2 Chelsea

[Akemisu 0]

I'd have to say a 2 - 0 or 3 - 0 win. All the lower league teams suddenly seem to get into some kind of "form" when playing Chelsea.

[Mungii 3]

Yes but we can't let them play....We have to kill them in the first half

[SuperSheva7 0]

i would love to see Sheva play, he needs some playing time and playing v Derby is an easy enough game to start with. i hope we'll get as much as pool and arse got against them but im gonna go for 0-4.

I think it wont be so easy after international break. I belive it will be 2:0 ... BTW is SLU competition over?

[Elliott 7]

We're hoping to get it back, it's not necessarily, but it's obviously too late for the Derby game now.

English Premier League

Derby (20th EPL, 6/39 pts) v Chelsea (4th EPL, 25/39 pts)

Saturday, 24 November, Kick-off: 17:15 GMT

Pride Park, Derby

The Rams need to beat The Blues and hope Wigan lose to Arsenal if they are to climb one place closer to safety, but to do that they must end a goal drought stretching back over eight hours.

Since Kenny Miller scored in the 1-1 draw against Bolton, Derby have lost four of their last five games, culminating in a 5-0 defeat at home to West Ham a fortnight ago.

Chelsea will be determined not to slip up as they look to close the gap on their title rivals. The Blues are currently five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and Manchester United, after being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in their last match.

They are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches though, and Derby may fear a backlash from Chelsea's England players after their disappointment in midweek.

I think we have a very good chance to win 3-0 or 4-0.

I hope that everything will be fine.

Yeah..

Pretty good selection.. Who knows if DD is really injured

We should easily win even with many changes..

Never though I'd see a worse team than Sunderland in the prem a couple years back.. But it actually happened in the form of Derby this season.. they are atrocious

now watch.. after i've said that they're gonna put up a performance against us :censored:
