urged the Stoke fans to keep up their vociferous support, which has helped in wins over Aston Villa, Tottenham, Sunderland and Arsenal already.

He added: "We will have to be patient. West Brom will keep the ball for long periods, passing it backwards and square, and we must keep doing what we are good at.

"I just want our fans to create the same atmosphere and tempo as they have done in our previous home games. They've been absolutely fantastic and made this place unique.

"The players have played to the beat of the drum and that beat has been set by the supporters. Our players can't afford to take their foot off the pedal and our fans can't either."

Pulis is delighted promoted trio Stoke, Hull and West Brom have proved no pushovers this season, and added: "No-one would be more pleased than me if all of us stayed up and I think it would be good for the game.

"There is the view that the teams who come up are easy meat, but that's not happened so far and long may it continue."
