Spurs wins: 59

A total of 126 battles have now been fought between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest, the former of whom boast the head-to-head superiority with 59 successes compared to 38 for the former European Cup winners.

Tottenham have built up their healthy lead over Forest in the victories column over the past 25 years in particular, as the North London crop have prevailed in eight of their last 11 meetings in all competitions, only suffering two losses in that sequence.

However, one of those reverses came as recently as December 2024, as ex-Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo masterminded a 1-0 victory for Forest over Ange Postecoglou‘s Tottenham, who had former Forest man Djed Spence sent off on the day.

The other defeat in that sequence came at the City Ground in the 2022-23 EFL Cup third round, as Renan Lodi and Jesse Lingard condemned Spurs to another early elimination, but Tottenham avenged that premature exit with three successive wins.

Postecoglou’s outfit did the double over Santo’s team in the 2023-24 Premier League campaign, following up a 2-0 away triumph with a 3-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the latter of which was their sixth straight top-flight success over Forest.

The Tricky Trees have to go as far back as the previous millennium for their last Premier League away win over Spurs, a 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane in 1997 thanks to a Dean Saunders goal, which also marked their ninth consecutive unbeaten game against Tottenham.

Many a cup contest has also been played out between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham down the years, but none more momentous than the 1991 FA Cup final, where Spurs triumphed 2-1 over the Garibaldi to win the competition for the eighth time.

With a staggering 12 goals to his name for Tottenham against Nottingham Forest, the late Jimmy Greaves has at least twice as many goals as any other player in this fixture; ex-Spurs winger Cliff Jones is second on the list with six.
