    Where does blame lay when you consistently concede from corners? Should the goalkeeper be coming off his line more? Should the defenders be winning more headers? Or is it down to tactics?

    "Burnley have lost their momentum a bit. They seem to be running out of ideas. West Brom are getting forward to press a lot quicker now and if they can get on the ball and use the pace of their forward players they could find the next goal. And the last thing Burnley want to do is give away corners. The Baggies have scored from two already."

    You fear for Burnley every time West Brom win a corner. This time Joleon Lescott peels off his marker at the far post and goes close with a header.

    Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We've been consistent in terms of form. That breeds confidence and we are in a good place. Marko Arnautovic went over on his ankle yesterday. He is not available today but we have got good quality in the group.

    "Our away form has been really good and we are always a threat. You know it will be a test when you come here but, the way we are playing, we'd like to think we will give a good account of ourselves."

    Newcastle United head coach John Carver: "We know we are in for a tough game but we have to be patient as well.

    "They are the away team so will sit back and we have to be patient and creative."

    Brown Ideye almost jetted to the Middle East in midweek - now the big striker is banging them in at Turf Moor. Maybe TP just needed something from Duty Free?

    "Brown Ideye lost his marker and was left with a simple header. West Brom have looked very dangerous from set-pieces. For Burnley, to let your opponents back into the game is disappointing. West Brom will be on the front foot now, and you would think they will be the more likely of the two teams to get another."

    Burnley really need to learn how to defend corners/set-pieces. They have now conceded 14 headed goals this season - the most in the Premier League - as Brown Ideye powers home Chris Brunt's corner from close range. How have the Clarets let this one slip?

    Just picking up on Andy's point (61 mins), here are the respective touch maps of Danny Ings (left) and Saido Berahino (right). What do you make of them?

    Newcastle head coach John Carver sticks with the same team which beat Hull City last time out as striker Ayoze Perez again gets the nod to lead the line ahead of Papiss Cisse.

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes makes two changes from a win over QPR. Defender Marc Muniesa and forward Mame Biram Diouf come in for the injured Ryan Shawcross and Marko Arnautovic, who suffered an ankle injury in training on Saturday.

    Newcastle XI: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Haidara, Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Cabella, Perez, Ameobi.

    Stoke XI: Begovic, Bardsley, Muniesa, Wollscheid, Wilson, Whelan, Nzonzi, Walters, Ireland, Moses, Diouf.

    Andy Donley: Danny Ings is streets ahead of Saido Berahino in my opinion. Berahino is a ghost without service, and his stats aren't impressive minus penalties.

  13. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 13:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    There's plenty of ability in this Burnley team - this time Kieran Tripper plays a Beckham-like cross into the box and Ashley Barnes appears to be bundled over while George Boyd fails to make any connection at the far post. It needed just a touch and it would have been a goal. But should Barnes have been awarded a penalty when he went over under Craig Dawson's challenge? Sean Dyche thinks so.

  14. Postpublished at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    Ashley Barnes and Danny Ings really do have a great understanding. Barnes is always looking to flick the ball on, with Ings keen to peel off his marker and make clever runs. The Shearer and Sheringham of their day. Or pretty close.

    Will Ravel Morrison ever sort his head out? If Sir Alex Ferguson and Big Sam can't knock sense into him, is there any hope?

    West Ham have terminated the contract of England Under-21 midfielder Ravel Morrison with immediate effect.

    Joe Dougal: Ravel Morrison is some talent! But unfortunately he is too much of a loose cannon, once he sorts his head out he'll be a world beater.

    A move straight from the training ground almost catches out Burnley - a deep free-kick splitting the defence and finding Darren Fletcher but the Baggies skipper takes the ball too wide and can't get a shot away.

    "It has been an even start to this second half and the tempo has gone up. You can see Burnley have been playing together for a really long time. The understanding between players, especially the forward pairing of Danny Ings and Ashley Barnes, is excellent. If they continue like this they will get themselves out of trouble this season."

    There's something very old school about Turf Moor as both sets of fans create a decent atmosphere in this grand, old stadium. Did you know that only Preston have occupied the same ground for longer than Burnley, who moved into Turf Moor in 1883? You do now. Go and impress your mates...

  20. Postpublished at 13:10 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2015

    Not much in the way of goal-mouth action early in this second half, but Ashley Barnes does well to avoid a caution when he swings an arms into the face of Joleon Lescott. The striker is perhaps saved by Lescott's lack of reaction.
