Hull City have gone in against Stoke City goalless at half time.
In a half that the home side shaded, Ahmed Elmohamady went close with a dipping effort that was well saved by Asmir Begovic in the Stoke goal.
Begovic was called into action again to thwart Yannick Sagbo's low effort.
Marko Arnautovic nearly got on the end of a cross after Stephen Ireland had released Geoff Cameron down the right with a clever flick.
