Australia have won three of their last four Boxing Day Tests against England, including an eight wicket win in their last such fixture (2013).
The Baggy Greens have won their last eight Ashes Test matches on home soil, never before have they won nine on the bounce.
Three of the last five Ashes Tests have been decided by margins of more than an innings; this had not occurred even once in the 13 encounters to have taken place beforehand.
England have now won the toss in each of their last five Ashes Tests; they have gone on to lose the last four games however.
Australia are undefeated in their last six Boxing Day Tests (W5 D1), including an innings victory over Pakistan on Boxing Day 2016.
Australia (21 played) and England (27 played) have each won 11 Tests since the beginning of 2016, though Australia have done so from six fewer Tests; only India (16/23) have won more Tests in that span.
Jonny Bairstow has been involved in 33 Test dismissals in 2017, the fourth most of any wicketkeeper and nine more than Australian-best Matthew Wade (24).
James Anderson's next wicket will be his 519th in Test cricket, equalling Courtney Walsh as the fifth-most prolific wicket-taker in Test history.
Steve Smith has a Test batting average of 127.6 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground; among players who played at least five Tests there, only Sir Donald Bradman (128.5) has a better average.
Alastair Cook (11,712) requires 103 in order to go above Mahela Jayawardene (11,814) and into 8th in the list of all-time leading runscorers in Test cricket; the England opener has gone 10 Test innings without a half-century however, his longest run without one.
