Sheffield United v Southampton: match preview

The Guardian

March 5, 2021 at 8:35 a.m.·1 min read

Sheffield United’s luck was in against Aston Villa as they showed the grit and determination that have been ever-present despite their struggling mightily this season. Another win against the Premier League’s worst side on form could lift them off the bottom if West Brom lose their relegation crunch match with Newcastle. Southampton will hope injuries in United’s defence take their toll and their touch-and-go starters will be ready in time. A morale-sapping ninth match without victory before facing Manchester City will have Saints looking over their shoulders. Graham Searles

Netflix slumped as one of the bigger drags on the benchmark S&P index and Nasdaq after the video streaming company's second-quarter revenue view fell short of analysts' expectations while the company also unexpectedly said it would no longer provide subscriber counts.
