The visitors came close to opening the scoring early on when Tom Huddlestone fired in a low strike from long range that Asmir Begovic had to push behind.

They had another chance minutes later as Shane Long picked out Liam Rosenior in the box, but the defender put his header over the bar.

Marko Arnautovic saw a shot saved by Steve Harper shortly before the break, as the two sides finished the half level.
