Sheffield United – Aston Villa: How to watch, stream, team news, start time, odds
Aston Villa will be desperate to relaunch their top-four campaign with a win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Wednesday (Watch live at 1 pm ET, on Peacock Premium ). SHEFFIELD UNITED – ASTON VILLA STREAM LIVE Dean Smith’s side has battled through a period of up-and-down form over the last two months (Aston Villa are without back-to-back wins since Boxing Day — a streak they can break on Wednesday after winning away to Leeds United on Saturday), but they have only fallen marginally off the Champions League pace as a result. They sit 9th ahead of their clash with the last-place Blades, but the points gap to West Ham United in 4th is just six and Villa have two games in hand. And then there’s Sheffield United, who sit six points out of 19th, 12 out of 18th and 15 out of 17th. Relegation is, in three words, a foregone conclusion. Chris Wilder’s side has lost four straight heading into the midweek clash with Aston Villa.

Jamie Peacock: Former Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls star keeps on running in retirement
It is coming up to five years since Jamie Peacock brought his storied playing career to a close, but the nine-time Super League Grand Final winner still has that competitive itch that needs scratching. The former prop has found an outlet for that in running though - specifically the challenge of ultramarathons, one of which he will be attempting on Friday, March 5, in a bid to raise money for charity Greenhouse Sports. His 52-mile run around London follows on from him tackling a 34-mile ultramarathon through the pouring rain in the Devon countryside last October and, speaking to the Golden Point Podcast , Peacock explained how he found out quickly after hanging his boots up the need to keep active. "I made a mistake when I finished playing that for six or eight weeks, I thought I wasn't going to train anymore - and it was probably the worst six to eight weeks of my life," Peacock told Sky Sports . "I thought 'I've got to start training again' and there are a couple of … [Read more...] about Jamie Peacock: Former Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls star keeps on running in retirement
