- Five of the last seven Ashes series have been won by England (L2); the eight to take place beforehand were all won by Australia.
- Australia have won six of the last seven Ashes series to be held Down Under however (L1); the hosts have claimed 5-0 whitewashes in two of their last three home Ashes.
- England come into this series having won five of their last seven Test matches (L2); having previously gone six games without a victory (D1 L5).
- Australia have only lost twice in their last 24 home Test matches; winning 18 times and being involved in just four drawn fixtures.
- England have not claimed a Test victory at the Gabba since 1986; the tourists are currently enduring a seven-game winless run there (D2 L5) whilst the Baggy Greens have not tasted defeat there in a Test since 1988 (W21 D7).
- Alastair Cook requires 66 runs to become the first touring player to post 500 Test runs at the Gabba; he currently holds the record for the highest ever Test innings score by an opposition batsman there (235*, November 2010).
- Joe Root is nine runs shy of 1,000 runs in Tests versus Australia; the current England captain could only average 27.4 during the 2013/14 Ashes series, his only previous series in Australia however.
- England's Moeen Ali has 30 Test wickets at an average of 21.3 in 2017, the best rate of any spinner to take 10+ wickets; he took 37 scalps at an average of 53 during 2016 however.
- Mitchell Starc (148) is two wickets away from 150 in Test cricket; this will be his first ever home Ashes series.
- Nathan Lyon (46) is close to claiming 50 Test wickets in a calendar year for the first time in his career; no bowler has taken more five-wicket hauls in 2017 than the Australian spinner (5).
