The fifth and final 2019 Ashes match will take place in London, where the Australians will have a chance to seal a 3-1 series win.
Australia officially retained the urn after winning the fourth Test, with Steve Smith providing yet another historic performance.
After conquering Old Trafford, the Aussies will venture to The Oval with hopes of securing their first series win in England since 2001.
The Manchester Test followed the most common trends of the previous three, although it emphasised everything to the extreme.
David Warner made two ducks, Joe Root made a golden duck and Smith was just shy of 300 runs, including an eventful 211 in the first innings.
England will be fighting for their pride and will field the strongest team possible, while the Australians have the opportunity to put a few stars on ice.
Ashes 5th Test betting predictions
England for highest opening partnership @ $1.88 with Sportsbet
If Warner keeps his spot for this fifth Test, he will do one of two things: either make a century as the pressure of winning has dissipated, or make another duck as Stuart Broad has destroyed him all series. Our tip is that between Warner and Marcus Harris, the Aussies will struggle to put 30 together, while Rory Burns looks very safe for England.
Australia to lead after first innings @ $1.70 with Sportsbet
Back in Smith to make more runs and a few other to join him now the urn is secured and the fear of failure is gone. The tail end for Australia has also been very productive this series and will contribute handy runs again. England can bat deep, but the specialist runmakers need to lift their game in a big way.
Steve Smith for man of the match @ $5 with Sportsbet
Unless one of the bowlers comes out and takes over eight wickets across the two innings, Smith already has one hand on the trophy. He is the best batsman in the world and the reason the Aussies have a chance to end their 18-year drought in the UK.
Australia to win @ $1.95
With the Ashes retained, Australia will have an enormous amount of pressure released, but England will not want to lose three Tests on home soil. This fifth Test is far from pointless and you can bet the visitors will want to finish on a high note.
