Now Livermore wants the limelight.

He steps inside Choupo-Moting and tries to curl it into the top-right corner of Butland's goal but it's blocked.

The ball could have gone anywhere but Stoke just about hoof it away.

Game on.

Well that goal has suddenly added a spring to their step.

West Brom want another and Chadli almost sets up Robson-Kanu perfectly. He keeps the ball in on the byline and chips it into the area but Butland is down quickly to snatch it away.

West Brom have started the half with a bit more intensity.

Nyom whips a ball into Robson-Kanu but it's snuffed out by Shawcross and West Brom can build again.

Nacer Chadli is coming on for James McClean. Will he make the difference?

Second-half is underway...

Greg Matthews: Has anything actually changed since West Brom sacked Pulis? About time boards realise sacking managers isn't always the answer.

Alan Pardew was full of motivational words prior to kick-off today. His side need to find something in this second half though...

It was a slow start to the game but Stoke are now well and truly on top.

But how many chances does Rondon need? He could have equalised for West Brom earlier in the half and has had six shots in total.

And that proves to be the last kick of the half.

Alan Pardew's side have a lot of work to do here...

Oh! Rondon!

AGAIN.

Kurt Zouma's clearing header doesn't go far and it falls to the feet of Rondon, who tried to place it in the far corner.

Jack Butland was stretching but he just about gets his fingers on the end of it.

How has Rondon not scored?

Dan Bell: Good to see Pardew working his magic on West Brom.

Loser92: What a great acquisition Arnautovic has been for the Irons. It’s no surprise that Stoke have struggled since his departure.

But they could get back to winning ways here!

Choupo-Moting and Allan Nyom are having an interesting contest down the right-hand side. They are battling for the ball each time and neither is coming out on top.

Salomon Rondon has had a few chances.

He's scored on his last two visits here and he's West Brom's top goalscorer this season with three.

Will it be more by the end of the day? He's already had four shots and of course that chance which he blasted over the bar.

Another close one for West Brom. It's Jake Livermore this time who plays an inviting ball across the box but it's dealt with.

You can sense the visitors building in confidence. Can they get a goal back before half-time?

Wow. What a miss!

All Salomon Rondon had to do was hit the target.

Gareth Barry floats a ball into the box and somehow everyone misses it. Rondon, who looked to be in an offside position, just lashes at it and it sails way over from just a few yards out.

The flag had stayed down too...

Darren Fletcher wins the ball in midfield and now Stoke can break forward.

Crouch is the target man once more but he can't quite get his head on the end of it. It eventually falls to Fletcher on the edge of the box and his acrobatic half-volley flies over the bar and into the stands.

Stoke have the lead but it's still fairly even.

Oh, that was close.

Rondon heads it onto Robson-Kanu but he continues his run and finds the ball at his feet in the box.

He hits it first time with his side foot but in the end it's an easy save for Jack Butland.

The game has got going!
