- England (D2 L6) have only claimed one Test series victory in their last nine attempts on the road against the Windies (2004); the tourists must win this game to have any hope of improving upon that recent record.
- The Windies have the chance to end a run of four Test series played against England without winning (D1 L3), they will snap that streak with a win in Antigua.
- England have only suffered two defeats in their last 10 Test outings (W8), they haven't slumped to successive losses in the format since March 2018; the Windies are aiming to record back-to-back Test wins over England for the first time since June 2000.
- England come into this game having registered their second-lowest first innings total (77) against the Windies in Test cricket (71 in 1976, Old Trafford); the 381-run loss in Barbados was England's seventh-heaviest Test defeat when batting in the final innings of the match.
- Windies have hosted England twice before in Tests at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, both of those meetings (2009 & 2015) ended in draws.
- Two of the three highest individual Test innings scores came in Antigua against England (Antigua Recreation Ground), Brian Lara's 375 in 1994 and the current record held by the same man in 2004 (400*).
- Windies have been involved in six Test matches at this venue in Antigua (Sir Vivian Richards Stadium), losing only one of them (W2 D3); they have batted second in all those fixtures.
- Jason Holder is the only player to score 500+ runs and take 30+ wickets in Test cricket since the start of last year; the Windies skipper has taken his 35 Test wickets in this time at an average of just 12.8, the best rate of any bowler to pick up 20+ wickets in that time.
- James Anderson (currently on 31) is two wickets away from becoming England's second-highest Test wicket-taker away from home against the Windies; he'd go above Jim Laker (32) with only Angus Fraser (54) ahead of him.
- The Windies' Kemar Roach has taken 17 Test wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, seven more than anybody else; doing so with an average of 15.9 and has collected 4+ scalps in three of his last four innings there with the ball.
