Australia will be looking to seal The Ashes on Wednesday, with the famous Old Trafford in Manchester set to host the fourth Test against England.
The sides have faced each other at the ground twice in the past decade, with the Aussies producing a stellar performance back in the 2019 series to help them retain the urn.
This time around, the visitors will enter the clash with a 2-1 series lead and are hopeful of gaining an unassailable lead heading into the final game at The Oval.
