Rochdale face a trip to Chester City at The Deva Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dale will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2008, where Rochdale annihilated the Dale 0 - 4 in a League Two match.
