Plymouth Arg. prepare to entertain Derby County at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 19 previous games, with the Pilgrims winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was less than a year ago, in December 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Championship match.
