Stoke and West Ham shared the spoils in a goalless draw as Jack Butland kept his first clean sheet since his return from injury.
The Potters reached the 40-point mark but they had no joy in an attacking sense as Saido Berahino was denied a first goal for the club by Winston Reid's fine block and Adrian's terrific save.
Southgate, who missed the Manchester derby on Thursday in favour of attending a rugby league game, witnessed Butland make just his second appearance since he fractured his ankle while on international duty last March.
Butland impressed with saves from Andre Ayew and Manuel Lanzini ahead of a possible Three Lions return in June.
There were few English players in either side for Southgate to cast his eye over but one of them, Berahino, was hoping to open his Stoke account 427 days on from his last goal for West Brom. He couldn't manage it, and West Ham left Staffordshire with a point
