In fact, it was Stoke who had the first real chance of the afternoon. Glenn Whelan had acres of space in midfield and decided to shoot from distance. His effort was on target, but Joe Hart made a simple stop.
The hosts responded by racing up the other end with Fernandinho, but the midfielder's shot from 25 yards was straight at Asmir Begovic.
Jonathan Walters should have done better when free in the box, although the home side needed Hart to keep out Charlie Adam's low effort moments later.
Yaya Toure, who had a quiet first half, shifted the ball onto his right foot before going for a curling effort into the top corner. He hit it well, but it was a fairly comfortable save for Begovic.
The Stoke goalkeeper also saved from Fernandinho late in the first half.
