Marouane Chamakh had the first opportunity of the afternoon, but could only direct his diving header from close range wide of the far post.

Stoke came close with a chance of their own soon after, as Peter Crouch saw his header from a Charlie Adam free kick pushed wide by Julain Speroni.

Erik Pieters tried his luck from long range for the visitors, but struck his volley wide of the post.
