Stoke's Jon Walters is playing with one of those protective faces masks on. It's transparent, though, and seems smaller than usual so it looks a little like he's wearing swimming goggles.

Stoke's Jon Walters is playing with one of those protective faces masks on. It's transparent, though, and seems smaller than usual so it looks a little like he's wearing swimming goggles.
Another Charlie Adam dig with his weaker foot, but this time the Stoke midfielder is stretching and slices the ball high over the bar.
Marko Arnautovic tickles a easing cross along the six-yard box and John O'Shea heads behind for a corner, which comes to little.
The amount of room Stoke are getting down Sunderland's right flank is frightening. Poor Billy Jones is hopelessly exposed and the hosts are funnelling every attack towards him.
Costel Pantilimon is called into action yet again in the Sunderland goal, this time gathering a speculative Marko Arnautovic effort.
Incidentally, that Charlie Adam goal was with his "standing" foot, rather than his more refined left.
Ryan Shawcross heads a corner over the Sunderland crossbar. As it stands, it's hard to see Sunderland hanging on here...

Spectacular goal from Charlie Adam. He's turning into Matt Le Tissier.
Had it not been for the rigging, that Charlie Adam shot would still be rising...
Told you Charlie Adam was rampant. Jon Walters and Marko Arnautovic combine to roll the ball into his path and the Scottish midfielder screams a shot into the top left-hand corner of Costel Pantilimon's net.
That's a huge opportunity spurned by Sunderland. Jermain Defoe scampers on to Lee Cattermole's long ball after Philipp Wollscheid slips but the striker blasts his shot into the side netting.
Aidan Mifsud: The Premier League would be a happier place without Hull and Sunderland
Gary Hunter: Sunderland winning after 50 seconds, unsure how to react
Yani Kapitanov: Certainly hope Sunderland stay up. They are the most unpredictable team in England.
Charlie Adam is rampant here. His delicious curling delivery cuts out Patrick van Aanholt but Jon Walters swipes are fresh air as he tries to connect at the back post.
Sunderland lead thanks to Connor Wickham's 58-second goal. The striker, you may recall, is the man whose goals took Sunderland to safety at this stage of last term.
He loves a dig, Charlie Adam, and the Scottish midfielder has just fizzed one over the Sunderland crossbar from 30 yards.
Right, who had 18 minutes in Lee Cattermole Booking Bingo?
Costel Pantilimon has just taken three attempts to gather a Marko Arnautovic cross. Match of the Day commentator Steve Bower says that it's a bit windy pitchside, but even still...
Ooft, that's close. Steven Ireland's volley glances off Sunderland defender Sebastian Coates and spins narrowly wide. Stoke are threatening here.

Former England midfielder on Final Score
"Sunderland have gone for a straight two up top and played Will Buckley in behind. It seems to have worked."
Lee Cattermole has just rapped his studs across Charlie Adam's thigh. Now that's a scrap I'd pay to see, but who'd win and why? Let us know at #BBCSTOSUN
