The visitors had a great chance within the first minute as a Potters set piece was cleared and sent forward towards Brown Ideye, who beat Marc Muniesa before powering into the area and firing over the crossbar.

Minutes later, the hosts had a penalty shout turned down after Glenn Whelan appeared to have been brought down by Craig Gardner in the box.

A high-tempo spell on the quarter-hour mark saw Stephane Sessegnon and Ideye threaten Asmir Begovic in the Stoke goal, while Bojan Krkic attempted a 25-yard shot that flew just wide of the West Brom post.

On the half-hour mark, James Morrison connected well from 25 yards to send a volley towards goal, but the Stoke stopper was able to collect with little difficulty.

Ultimately, however, neither side was able to break the deadlock by the end of the first half.
