The upcoming Premier League fixture between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest is steeped in both tradition and changing tides.
As the two sides prepare to clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Easter Monday, April 21, it's the perfect time to revisit their rich history.
Interestingly, the 2024/25 season has seen their roles reversed. While many expected Spurs to chase a top-four finish, it’s been Forest under Nuno Espirito Santo battling near the European places. Tottenham, meanwhile, are heavily focused on their upcoming Europa League semi-finals.
Recent Form & History
Tottenham currently lead the head-to-head tally, having won 59 of their 126 meetings to Forest's 38, with 29 draws.
In the last 11 encounters, Spurs have won 8, while Forest have only claimed victory twice — including a 1-0 win in December 2024, orchestrated by former Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
Other notable results include Spurs doing the double in the 2023/24 Premier League season, with a 2-0 win at the City Ground and a 3-1 home victory.
Iconic Moments
Tottenham’s dominance dates back to the late 90s. Forest haven't won a Premier League away match against Spurs since 1997, when Dean Saunders netted the winner at White Hart Lane.
The clubs have also faced off in cup competitions, most memorably in the 1991 FA Cup Final, which Tottenham won 2-1.
And of course, no historical list would be complete without Jimmy Greaves, who scored a staggering 12 goals against Forest — twice as many as any other Spurs player.
