Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of West Ham's trip to the Britannia to face Stoke City. Team news is on the way...

Crouch gets a flick but it comes to nothing.

And that's full-time.

A fairly entertaining goalless draw, if such a thing can exist.

Adam wins a free-kick very late on with some terrific shielding of the ball on the floor.

Adam tries his luck from distance but there's nothing doing as it is blocked and then cleared.

Right we're going to have four minutes of added time, is there a late winner here?

Hint - Probably not

Great chance for Crouch as Shaqiri sends the ball in from the left but he can't get on top of it and it goes over the bar.

The home fans are on their way out, which is a bit odd given they're playing pretty well and Kouyate is okay to continue.

Adam loses the ball and West Ham break. Kouyate swings at a loose ball and totally misses.

He's now down injured in the box.

One of Adam's first passes is a glorious ping into the feet of Arnautovic but he mucks up his pass in turn.

Whelan's day is done, he's replaced by Charlie Adam.

West Ham bring on summer signing Robert Snodgrass for Calleri.

Shaqiri is definitely playing No.10 now.

He tries to slip in Arnautovic but Adrian is out quickly.

Crouch gets a knock down but Berahino fouls as he tries to reach it.

There's going to be a couple of changes now...

Stoke fans are furious as Shaqiri jinks inside again and goes down in the box.

Collins is the man who challenged him and he is furious as the Stoke man picks himself up.

The referee says no and he's absolutely right, it's a bad dive from Shaqiri, he really should be booked for that.

If Stoke are going to win this it's going to come from Shaqiri.

It looks like something is going to happen every time he gets the ball at his feet. He cuts inside again but his shot is blocked.

HOW HAS HE NOT SCORED?!

Oh my word that is a sensational ball from Shaqiri playing a gorgeous ball across goal to Arnautovic.

Adrian does really well to block both attempts.

It seems as if Shaqiri is playing more centrally, or at least he's drifting inside more.

He unleashes a fierce shot that is blocked by the head of a West Ham defender.

Kouyate releases Fernandes but his close is easily cut out.

Next Noble tries to float one in but it's easy for Butland.

Now Stoke make their first change.

The impressive Joe Allen is taken off with Peter Crouch coming on.

Stoke feel this is their game whilst West Ham are shutting up a bit.

We're going to have our second change now and there's a bit of amusement as Ayew doesn't realise he's being taken off.

The forward is clearly not a happy man as he comes off to be replaced by club captain Mark Noble.

In the latest episode of our series called 'full-backs who can't cross' now it's Cresswell who massively overhits his pass.

At least this time he takes a touch.

Johnson won't want to see that again.

The ball is played out to him and he tries to cross it first time but it goes high and out.

Why wouldn't you just take a touch there?
