Kick-off between Stoke City and West Ham has been delayed by a power outage at the Bet365 Stadium.

Stoke announced via Twitter that a power surge had affected both club generators and the stadium's main supply, with a delayed kick-off confirmed shortly thereafter.

Saturday's match was originally set to start at 3 pm GMT, but kick-off has now been delayed indefinitely.

The contest is a key clash for the Premier League relegation battle, with just two points separating Stoke, who sit 16th, and 19th-placed West Ham.
