Nottingham Forest vs. Leicester City: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 111 Nott'm Forest wins: 42 Draws: 28 Leicester wins: 41

Throughout the course of time, there have been a grand total of 111 meetings between Nottingham Forest and Leicester City, with the head-to-head record making for fascinating reading.

Owing to the relative sizes of the clubs, it is no surprise to see that the two teams are extremely close in the record books, with the Tricky Trees winning on 42 occasions compared to the Foxes' 41.

Such similarities between the sides have not always been the case, though, with Forest winning each of their first six meetings with Leicester, starting with a 5-1 FA Cup victory in February 1901.

That fruitful spell over the Foxes ran from 1901 until 1911 and included a 12-0 triumph for the City Ground club, which remains their record league win.

The bragging rights in the East Midlands have swung dramatically over the past century or so, with Leicester enjoying a 13-game unbeaten run in the fixture between 1913 and 1946.

One of the most notable clashes between the sides, the Foxes beat the Tricky Trees 3-2 at the City Ground in May 2013 courtesy of a last-minute Anthony Knockaert goal, securing a spot in the Championship playoffs for Leicester.

Nottingham Forest have had the upper hand in this fixture in recent times, winning three of the last five meetings, including a 3-1 victory at the King Power Stadium in October 2024.
