The Reds head to Upton Park still searching for their first league win of 2008.

A run of four consecutive draws has seen us fall out of the top four and left our hopes of a maintaining a sustained title challenge in major doubt.

But Liverpool's away record has been a major plus so far this season and we will need to reproduce the type of form that has seen us win at Villa Park and Goodison Park if we are to leave London with all three points.

Alan Curbishley's men have already shown that they can mix it with the best at Upton Park, as Manchester United found out to their cost in December.

So it promises to be a tough test for Rafa and his team and a repeat of last season's 2-1 victory would be the pefect respite for a year that has so begun in frustration in the Premier League.

At Pride Park
Wednesday, 26 December
Kick-off: 1500 GMT

When the two sides met at Anfield back on September 1, it was a clear case of 'Rams to the slaughter.'

The Reds were in rampant mood as they hit six of the best to leave the Premier League newcomers in no doubt as to what it would take to survive in English football's top Division.

Since then Derby have continued to struggle against relegation but there have been signs that they won't go down without a fight, and they showed they can match anyone on their day with a notable victory at home to Newcastle.

In new manager Paul Jewell they have someone who has masterminded the great escape with both Bradford City and Wigan Athletic, and although the Rams may struggle to avoid the drop this time around, they are already beginning to show the fighting spirit characterised by their manager.

The last time Liverpool visited Pride Park in December 2001, they secured a narrow 1-0 victory courtesy of a Michael Owen goal and they were also grateful to Jerzy Dudek for a fabulous penalty save to deny Fabrizio Ravanelli.

Another three points this time around would be the perfect post-Christmas gift for the Reds in what is a hectic festive schedule.

Derby skipper Matt Oakley remains a doubt with the groin strain that forced him out of the draw at Newcastle.

Stephen Bywater picked up a shoulder injury and Darren Moore a back problem in the match at St James' Park but both are expected to face Liverpool.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is likely to make changes with a tough trip to Manchester City looming next Sunday.

Ryan Babel, Andriy Voronin, Fabio Aurelio, Lucas and Jack Hobbs could all be in line for a starting place.

Derby (from): Bywater, Mears, Moore, McEveley, Leacock, Barnes, Edworthy, Oakley, Pearson, Lewis, Fagan, Howard, Miller, Teale, Earnshaw, Feilhaber, Holmes, Price.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hobbs, Hyypia, Riise, Aurelio, Benayoun, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Kewell, Babel, Lucas, Sissoko, Crouch, Kuyt, Torres, Voronin, Itandje.

Derby manager Paul Jewell:
"I am a realist, I know we have got it all to do.

"All I can ask of the players is that they give me everything they have got.

"Day-to-day we are gradually improving and coming around to the way we want to do things because every manager is different and does things differently."

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez:
"It is too early to talk about the title or whether we will be in the top four.

"There are a number of sides who are playing well, so you cannot say who are going to be contenders.

"My idea is one game at a time and then see if we are in the top four at the end of the season."

BIG-MATCH FACTS

Paul Jewell takes his new charges to the city of his birth looking for a first win as Derby manager, having stopped the rot with a first point in seven outings from Sunday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

Liverpool look for the victory to take them back into the top four from their 600th Premier League fixture.

Derby have only ever won one Premier League game on Boxing Day; they defeated Newcastle 1-0 at home in 1997.

Liverpool have lost only two of the 13 Premier League matches played on 26 December, but one of the pair was 1-0, away to Blackburn, last year.

Liverpool are unbeaten in seven Premier League matches against Derby, including wins in the last three with an aggregate of 9-0.
