The two sides have met on 24 occasions, with County just having the edge. County have won 12, Rovers 11 and there has been just 1 draw.

Rovers have twice scored five at Meadow Lane in a 5-1 win in the 1953/54 season and a 5-0 win in the 1957/58 season.

County enjoyed their biggest win in the 1997/98 season when they won 5-2, the last time they met in the League.

They have met twice since Rovers returned to the Football League in 2003 and both came in the First Round of the League Cup.

County won the first encounter 1-0 after extra time in the 2008/09 season and Rovers gained revenge the following season when a James Coppinger goal was enough.
