    GOAL - Stoke 1-1 West Hampublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 15 May 2016

    Giannelli Imbula (55 mins)

    Wouldn't you know it. 

    Stoke make West Ham pay for not taking their chances, record signing Giannelli Imbula taking his time before picking out the bottom right-hand corner with his left foot from 20 yards.

    It was just the Potters' second shot of the game and first on target.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 51 mins

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Stoke seeing more of the ball but West Ham break and really should be 2-0 up.

    Michail Antonio charges down the right and squares for Diafro Sakho who has all the time you could want - only to side-foot at Shay Given.

    Really important stop by the 40-year-old but Sakho should have given him no chance.

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Stoke have won only three home league matches in 2016 - against the relegated Aston Villa, Norwich and Newcastle.

    They're a long way off adding to that stat here.

    Stoke look to break but the ball bounces away from Marko Arnautovic.

    Back under way... can Stoke at least show up for this half?

    No changes for either side, surprisingly.

    The half-time scores in today's other games can be seen below.

    A reminder that Manchester United-Bournemouth was called off after a suspect package was found at Old Trafford.

    Southampton lead Crystal Palace 1-0 while Liverpool have equalised at West Brom.

    As it stands, West Ham go fifth but Manchester United will obviously still have to play their final game.

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    I'd be very, very surprised if Mark Hughes doesn't make at least one change in personnel at half-time. 

    Neither side did much in the first half of the half but since then it's been all West Ham. A no-show from Stoke so far.

    Andy Carroll making himself known in the Stoke box but Mike Jones blows up for a foul before he flicks the ball over.

    Really, this is pretty desperate from Stoke. Holiday mode doesn't do it justice.

    It's quietened down again at the Britannia. 

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes will be very unhappy with the performance (or lack of one) so far but at least they're only one down.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 40 mins

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Finally - a shot from Stoke! Bojan's effort was wide but still, the best they've offered so far.

    Then the Potters' Giannelli Imbula goes in the book for bringing down Mark Noble.

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross yells at his players to get a grip (or words to that effect).

    Diafro Sakho and Andy Carroll the latest to have a go at goal, but unable to really connect.

    Stoke finally get the ball and string a few passes together but ref Mike Jones gets in the way and the ball rebounds to the Hammers! Very, very annoying for the home team.

    Glenn Whelan commits a foul in frustration and gives Jones a piece of his mind.

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Good run from Cheikhou Kouyate who earns a corner. Nothing doing from it but West Ham stay on the offensive. 

    Stoke are hemmed in their own half at the moment.

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Erik Pieters is down after being clattered by Diafro Sakho. Somehow Mike Jones has given a throw to West Ham. It was right in front of the assistant referee and a clear free-kick to Stoke.

    Pieters not impressed.

    The action areas graphic demonstrates West Ham's dominance of possession and territory. 

    Stoke offering nothing at the moment. Zilch. If West Ham get one more, you get the feeling this game would be put to bed.

    West Ham have another corner but it's cleared.

  17. CLOSE!published at 27 mins

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    All West Ham all of a sudden and Diafro Sakho goes close this time, shooting into the side-netting with his left foot.

    The Hammers have definitely woken from the early slumber. Stoke very much still dozing.

  18. CLOSE!published at 26 mins

    Stoke 0-1 West Ham

    Nearly another for Michail Antonio! He runs across the penalty area - with little attempt to stop him - and fires just over with his left foot.

    Michail Antonio (22 mins)

    Brilliant from Michail Antonio - chesting the ball down with his back to goal following a corner, the winger shows great strength to hold off the Stoke defence, turn and fire the opener.

    Well set up by Winston Reid's header too. Advantage West Ham.

    At last - something happens! 

    Giannelli Imbula is brought down from behind by Cheikhou Kouyate, who is shown the yellow card by ref Mike Jones.
