Birmingham have been heading in the opposite direction, and even though they extended their record of scoring at home to 15 games, their best run since 1970, the point means their upward trajectory stalled with the Blues in 13th.
The Potters had four forwards unavailable but looked the more likely team to score in an enterprising first half, when they went close three times in the space of 90 seconds.
Hull City v Middlesbrough (KO delayed to 20:15 GMT)
Hull City captain Lewie Coyle says he would love to play 500 games for the Tigers, having reached 201 appearances in Saturday’s last-gasp win at Stoke.

Having lost six of their seven Premier League away games against Chelsea between 2013 and 2018 (D1), Arsenal are now unbeaten in their last six visits to Stamford Bridge (W3 D3).

Phil Foden scored twice as Manchester City made up ground in the Premier League title race after almost blowing a two-goal lead against strugglers Leeds.

Igor Thiago scored a late double as Brentford came from behind to defeat Newcastle United and extend the visitors’ miserable Premier League record on the road.
Harvey Barnes had put Newcastle ahead in the first half at the Gtech Community Stadium after lashing the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from inside the box.
But Brentford came roaring back after the break and the hosts drew level through
Matthijs de Ligt scored an equaliser deep into stoppage time to earn Manchester United a point in a dramatic finale to their Premier League match at Tottenham.

But in the last of six minutes of injury time, with keeper Lammens
Watford 1-1 West Brom
With half-time approaching, Watford and West Bromwich Albion remain level. Both teams have had moments of skill, particularly with Watford’s Imran Louza equalising earlier with a glamorous strike, and Isaac Price opening the scoring for Albion.
