The fixture between Nottingham Forest and Leicester City is a football rivalry played between the two East Midlands clubs, often referred to as an East Midlands derby.{{cite news|title=Gallagher "Delighted" With Award |url=http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~1985609,00.html |work=lcfc.com |publisher=Leicester City F.C. |date=6 March 2010 |access-date=22 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120612033102/http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0%2C%2C10274~1985609%2C00.html |archive-date=12 June 2012 |url-status=dead }} There have been a total of 108 meetings dating back to 1901.{{Cite web |url=http://www.leicestercity-mad.co.uk/head-to-head/nottingham-forest/vs/leicester-city/ |title=Head-to-Head – Leicester City FC |website=leicestercity-mad.co.uk |publisher=Foxes Mad |access-date=22 March 2010 |archive-date=25 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170425031127/http://www.leicestercity-mad.co.uk/head-to-head/nottingham-forest/vs/leicester-city/ |url-status=live }}

Though Forest are closer in proximity to both Notts County and Derby County, and Leicester's nearest club is Coventry City, the clubs represent the two largest cities in the East Midlands.

Notable games

One match that remains Leicester City's worst defeat and Nottingham Forest's record league win is the 12–0 result at the City Ground on 21 April 1909, when Leicester was known as Leicester Fosse. The performance by Fosse players was so appalling that The Football League ordered an inquiry, although no further action was taken after it turned out several of the already relegated Leicester side were hungover from a player's wedding the night before.{{cite news|title=Leicester in La Manga-style high jinx and match-fixing shock|url=http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/got-not-got/Leicester-in-La-Manga-style-high-jinx-and-match-fixing-shock-article202353.html|publisher=Trinity Mirror|work=MirrorFootball|access-date=22 March 2010|date=27 October 2009|first=Steve|last=Anglesey|archive-date=30 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091130130007/http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/got-not-got/Leicester-in-La-Manga-style-high-jinx-and-match-fixing-shock-article202353.html|url-status=live}}

On 18 September 2007, Nottingham Forest was given a 'free goal' by Leicester City in a League Cup match at the City Ground.{{cite news|title=Forest given 'free goal' by Foxes|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/7001796.stm|work=BBC Sport|date=18 September 2007|access-date=22 March 2010|archive-date=13 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160113014321/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/7001796.stm|url-status=live}} It was a rescheduled match after their original meeting on 28 August, which Forest were leading 1–0, was abandoned due to Leicester player Clive Clarke collapsing in the dressing room at half-time.{{cite news|title=Clarke collapse ends Forest tie|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/6963502.stm|work=BBC Sport|date=28 August 2007|access-date=22 March 2010|archive-date=14 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100114122700/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/6963502.stm|url-status=live}} Leicester nonetheless won the match 3–2.

To date, there have been nine hat-tricks recorded in fixtures between the two clubs, of which seven are from Nottingham Forest. Of the seven, three of those hat-tricks came from the 12–0 mauling of Leicester Fosse in 1909. Forest's most recent hat-trick against Leicester was from Robert Earnshaw in December 2009. In November 1948, Don Revie became the first Leicester player to score a hat-trick against Forest, a feat matched by Jermaine Beckford in a 4–0 FA Cup win on 17 January 2012.

A notable game between the sides in recent history happened on 4 May 2013, the final day of the 2012–13 Football League Championship season, with both sides having a chance of making the promotion play-offs with a win. Forest took an early lead through Simon Cox, but the score was 2–2 at halftime, a scoreline that remained until late into injury time when Anthony Knockaert gave Leicester a first league win at the City Ground since 1972, sending Leicester into the playoffs.{{cite news|title=Nott'm Forest 2–3 Leicester|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22320604|work=BBC Sport|date=4 May 2013|access-date=28 May 2015|archive-date=17 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160117163206/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22320604|url-status=live}}

On 3 October 2022, Leicester and Forest met for the first time in the top flight of English football for 23 years, with the sides 20th and 19th respectively. Leicester won the game 4–0, but Forest won the return match 2–0 on 15 January 2023.
