Australia captain Michael Clarke has said that he expects to lead the same team out for a fifth time in Sydney.
The home side are 4-0 up in the series, meaning that victory at the SCG will see them replicate the whitewash they dished out to England in 2006-2007.
Ryan Harris and Shane Watson are both struggling with fitness issues, but Clarke said that all 14 squad members were able to practise yesterday.
"I think you've got to pick the best 11 players to help you have success in the conditions you're playing," he told reporters. "If conditions turn out to be similar to what they have been in the past four Test matches then I think the selectors will go that way but I think we certainly need to pick our best team to win this Test match.
"I don't have any idea of the team at this stage, I think we're waiting to see how the guys pull up tomorrow morning.
"But everybody's out in the nets batting and bowling so look I'm really confident guys will pull up fit but we need to give them every chance and see how they wake up in the morning."
The action gets underway at 11.30pm this evening (UK time).
