Ian Botham believes England will win The Ashes this week

England can take advantage of Australia's poor form and win The Ashes this week, claims Ian Botham.

Former England all-rounder Ian Botham has tipped England to regain The Ashes at Trent Bridge this week.

The home side lead Australia 2-1 so far, and could wrap up the victory in the five-match series if they win the fourth Test.

Botham told Sky Sports News: "There's no reason whatsoever why they can't wrap things up at Trent Bridge with Australia under the cosh right now.

"What this England side have done in this Ashes series is remarkable. They were written off by a lot of people but what they have achieved is very, very pleasing."

England have won the last three Ashes series on home soil.
