Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 127
Nott'm Forest wins: 39
Draws: 29
Spurs wins: 59
A total of 127 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 39 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 12 meetings in all competitions, only suffering three losses in that sequence.
However, two of those reverses came in the 2024-25 Premier League season, where Nuno Espirito Santo's Forest followed up a 1-0 home success on Boxing Day with a 2-1 triumph at their manager's former stomping ground.
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.
Ange 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.
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.
