Match ends, West Ham United 0, Stoke City 0.

West Ham were held by Stoke in a scrappy but entertaining goalless draw.
The visitors produced an impressive attacking display to beat Manchester City last week, but could not find the same form again.
Marco van Ginkel, brought in for the injured Xherdan Shaqiri, had Stoke's best chance in the first half but he put wide from close range.
West Ham enjoyed more action in front of goal but they were denied time after time by Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland.
It means the Hammers have now gone six games without a win in the league - their last victory coming against Chelsea on 24 October - although they have picked up four draws in that period.
Stoke City have now kept seven clean sheets in their last nine Premier League games.
The draw saw the hosts slip one place to eighth while the Potters remain 11th.

No Shaqiri, no party
Stoke were dealt a blow before the game when Shaqiri was ruled out with a hamstring strain, and they lacked the attacking prowess they showed in their 2-0 win last weekend.
Van Ginkel should have done better when he scuffed wide from Ibrahim Afellay's pass in the first half, while substitute Mame Diouf nearly won it at the end when he went one-on-one with keeper Adrian, who saved with his feet.
Bojan was ineffective up-front, having only two shots all game, while Marko Arnautovic failed to produce the same finishing that saw him score twice against Man City.
Although they lacked attacking flair, their defence was solid once again, with Butland making eight saves.
Antonio gets his chance
West Ham have been hit by a number of injuries to key players in recent weeks - the latest casualties Winston Reid and Victor Moses joining Dimitri Payet, Diafra Sakho and Manuel Lanzini on the sidelines.
Manager Slaven Bilic called upon Michail Antonio to make his first Premier League start, and the former Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder impressed for the Hammers.
The 25-year-old had five shots on goal - more than any other player on the pitch - but failed to put it past an in-form Butland.
Andy Carroll made a menace of himself up front, and engaged in a physical battle with defender Ryan Shawcross, but the big England striker was not able to find the killer touch, with only two shots on target.

Man of the match

Manager reaction
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "Both teams defended well. We hit the post twice and they did once. I'm not happy with the result but it was a fair result.
"Considering the effort we put in I can't be unhappy with my team.
"I can't be happier with our spirit and togetherness and resilience and, at times, our quality."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We're reasonably pleased with the draw.
"I thought we defended really well. Both teams will be comfortable with the point. That's something we can build on.
"[The clean sheet record] is a base and platform to build on. West Ham are a good team and as the home side we knew it was a test for us."
The stats you need to know
- No keeper has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Jack Butland this campaign (seven, level with Joe Hart). He also has the best saves-to-shots ratio in the Premier League so far in 2015-16 (82.5%).
- The Potters have not conceded a Premier League goal while Ryan Shawcross has been on the pitch this season (497 minutes).
- West Ham have won just two of their last nine Premier League home games (W2 D4 L3), but are unbeaten in the last six.
- The Hammers have kept back-to-back clean sheets twice this season. They also did it against Liverpool and Newcastle in August/September.
What next?
West Ham face managerless Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday, 20 December while Stoke welcome Crystal palace the day before.
