Hello everyone. Welcome to live coverage of this Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Stoke from Villa Park.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Tuesday morning (UK only).

FULL TIME. It finishes 1-1 here at Villa Park.

Shawcross puts the ball in the net for Stoke, but the goal is chalked off after Huth had tugged Collins's shirt in the build-up.

Villa sub: Heskey on, Herd off.

Huth is okay, but Herd has taken quite a blow here and will have to be stretchered off. It's his second clash of heads in the second half.

Herd and Huth have clashed heads and play has stopped.

Stoke sub: Fuller on, Delap off.

The Villains, who have Stoke defending very deep at the moment, have little over 10 minutes to get the goal that would ease their relegation worries.

Villa have reacted well since the Stoke goal but they look painfully short of attacking options.

Herd is back on the field and goes for goal with an ambitious shot that was always rising over the bar.

Villa sub: N'Zogbia on, Bannan off.

Collins again goes down in the box, this time under pressure from Shawcross as the ball was sent into the box. Not a great deal of contact, but you've seen those given.

You have to say, Stoke deserve that.

GOAL! Huth scores for Stoke! Pennant whips in a free kick from the right and the big German defender powers in an emphatic header. 1-1.

Pennant and Crouch have certainly added something to Stoke's attack.

Stoke are pouring forward in great numbers every time and it seems like only a matter of time before they draw level.

"Get hold of it," yells McLeish from the technical area. He has a point, Villa just can't keep the ball at the moment.

Pennant is being mercilessly booed for his Birmingham City past, but he wins a corner for Stoke.

Herd has taken a knock to the head and has to go off, at least until he can count how many fingers he has. We play on with a contested drop ball.

Stoke sub: Pennant on, Etherington off.
