Not watching the game but sounds from the comments on the Beeb that they've been a little unlucky so far.

Both teams have had 2 good chances, 1 team has put one of their chances away and made a great save, not much in between.

What's the story with the pitch?

 

The pitch was previously 105m x 68m, with a square area of 7,140m2. The pitch at this size was the eighth largest in the country, the same size as the much – and erroneously – vaunted “huge” pitch at Wembley Stadium. According to FA Regulations, pitch sizes in England must be within 120m and 90m in length and have a width between 45m and 90m.

 

The shortening of the pitch has already taken place; however, rumours are swirling to what the final dimensions of the newly resized surface will be. The accepted norm seems to be a 6m shortening in length, and a 2m reduction in width of the pitch to 99m x 66m, however no other team in the English Football League or Premier League has a pitch below 100m in length. Thus, the final dimensions may well be 100m x 66m, with a resulting square area of 6,600m2, resulting in the Stadium of Light pitch going from one of the largest pitches within English professional football to the tenth smallest – with only Wolves’ Molineux and Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium pitches smaller than the Stadium of Light’s imo

The only thing swirling around that place is the remnants of someone's packed lunch.
