- England's eight-match winless run versus Australia in men's Test cricket (D2 L6) came to an end last time out; winning by a margin of just one wicket at Headingley in the 3rd Test of this series.
- Australia have not lost a men's Test match against England at Old Trafford since 1981; they have put together a six-game unbeaten streak at the Manchester venue in that time (W3 D3).
- England's last defeat at Old Trafford in a men's Test match came in 2001 (v Pakistan); they have strung together an 11-game unbeaten run there since, nine of those matches have seen the hosts register a win (D2).
- Australia have only been able to register one victory in their last eight men's Test matches played on the road (D2 L5); that sole win did come earlier in this series at Edgbaston however.
- The 362/9 England managed to register last time out in Leeds was the most runs they've ever recorded in the 4th innings to win a Test match.
- Victory for Australia will bring them one step closer to winning their first men's Test series away from home since February 2016 and their first men's Test series in England since 2001; one more victory for the tourists will see them retain the Ashes.
- Ben Stokes (England) claimed his highest ever Test score versus Australia (135*) in the previous encounter, it was his third Test ton against the Baggy Greens (the most he's managed against a single opponent); the England vice-captain now averages 57 in 2019 (12 innings), his best rate in a single calendar year.
- James Anderson (England) could return for this match, only one bowler (Sir Alec Bedser - 51) has claimed more Test wickets at Old Trafford than him (28); he'll become only the second man ever to register 150 Test appearances for England, if he features in this game (Sir Alastair Cook - 161).
- England's Rory Burns has scored 242 runs in this men's Ashes series; 163 more than any other opening batsman (Warner - 79, Roy - 57, Bancroft - 44 and Harris 27).
- Australia's Pat Cummins is the leading wicket-taker in this series so far (17); nine of his scalps have come from short balls, the other bowlers combined have only claimed four dismissals from deliveries of such length (Broad - 2, Stokes - 1 and Hazlewood - 1).
- Stuart Broad took his 700th wicket for England across all formats in the 3rd Ashes Test of this series (701), becoming only the second man to claim as many for his country (James Anderson, 862 wickets).
