Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 122
Spurs wins: 61
Draws: 22
Leicester wins: 39
From 122 previous meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, Spurs' success rate sits at close to 50%, having prevailed in 61 of their competitive contests while only suffering 38 defeats down the years.
Even fewer clashes between Leicester and Spurs have ended level - just 22 - although one of those stalemates was fought at the King Power Stadium in August 2024, where none other than Jamie Vardy saved the Foxes' bacon.
A few months later in January 2025, Leicester incredibly went one better, conquering the Lilywhites 2-1 in North London to end a seven-match losing run in the Premier League under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
That terrific comeback win marked Leicester's third straight game without defeat against Tottenham, whom they previously slaughtered 4-1 in February 2023 before being demoted back down to the second tier.
However, Tottenham otherwise had Leicester's number during the Brendan Rodgers era, winning four straight games against the Foxes from May 2021 to September 2022, all of which were goal-laden classics.
Each of those four victories for Spurs saw both teams score, there were at least four goals in every game, and the two sides shared a remarkable 23 goals across those 360 minutes of football, one strike almost every 15 minutes on average.
Outside of league action, Tottenham have trumped Leicester in two major finals, beating the Foxes 2-0 in the 1960-61 FA Cup showpiece to complete a domestic double before a 1-0 triumph in the 1999 League Cup final.
Spurs legends also dominate the individual goalscoring column in this fixture - Harry Kane (19), Jimmy Greaves (13) and Son Heung-min (10) are all in the double figures - but perennial Big Six nemesis Vardy boasts 10 strikes of his own against Tottenham.
