Hello and welcome to our live coverage from the Britannia Stadium of Stoke City vs Newcastle United. Team news to follow shortly...

Almost trouble as Ireland picks up on a loose clearance from Dummett and storms into the box. He tries to cut it back to Odemwingie but it is cut out by Taylor who clears.

Arnautovic takes on Anita again but his cross is deflected to Odemwingie. He plays it to Nzonzi who spreads it wide to Pieters. His deep cross is blocked but Stoke retain the ball.

Another Dummett cross after rounding Cameron but Shawcross does well to clear.

Stoke with some possession now. Nzonzi switches to Cameron who gets it inside to Odemwingie. A loose pass though and Ameobi picks it up and drives into the Stoke half. He finds Anita on the right but his deep cross goes all the way to Dummett on the other wing.

Pieters takes on Anita but the defender does well. However he gives it away to Ireland on the edge of the area. Luckily his teammates are around to help him out.

Gosling almost gets to the byline but his cross is late and the ball just trickled out.

Newcastle starting to look comfortable on the ball now. Just popping it about at the back.

Crouch gives away a foul and Krul looks to go long from it.

Newcastle passing themselves into trouble. First Colloccini with a wayward ball to Taylor meant the defender had to back track. Under pressure he played a low 30yard pass to Ameobi who was luckily fouled from behind as he collected it otherwise he would have been in serious trouble.

Nzonzi dispossess' Gouffran in the middle and feeds it to Cameron. He goes line for Ireland but Dummett tackles well.

CHANCE! Arnautovic causes havoc on the left with a dangerous cross whoch Colloccini just about clears. Nzonzi controls instantly and gets a shot away but the Argentine defender is there again to block over.

Lovely one and two touch play from Stoke and Odemwingie is released down the right wing but his cross is blocked and comes back off him for a Newcastle throw.

Anita drives down the right but no good runs ahead of him and he is forced to go backwards.

Dummett's poor touch turns in to a good one as he finds space on the edge of the area. He pokes it through to Cisse but his control isn't good enough and Cameron gets back. Then Gosling gets to the byline on the right side but Pieters makes a brilliant recovery tackle to win a goal kick for his side.

Anita scampers down the right and finds Gouffran in the middle. He opens his body and gives it to Dummett on the left. It finds its way out right agin but Ameobi has a heavy touch and Ireland robs him.

Cheap corner given away by Anita under pressure from Arnautovic. Poor back pass. Ireland takes but Krul does well to punch it clear.

Arnautovic tries a trick in his own half. It comes off but he tries to buy a foul and the ref waves play on. Newcastle attack down the left and a flick round the corner is too much for Dummett whos run is blocked by Cameron.

Some neat one and two touch passing in the middle by Pieters and Ireland but the Irishman's first time ball to Cameron in space in the right is overhit and goes out for a throw.

Arnautovic lays it to Whelan in the midddle. He finds Ireland in some space between the lines but his attempted flick to Odemwingie doesn't come off as the Nigerian was not on the same wavelength and made a backwards run.

Wilson goes long to Crouch but Taylor reads it and clears. He gives it to Cisse who drives down the right wing before switching to Dummett. He lays it to Ameobi but the move breaks down as players get back to cover.

Good lay off from Cisse to Ameobi who drives forward and then attempts a shiot from distance on his left foot when he had runners either side of him. Disappointing strike trickled wide.
