Stoke veteran Walters: Blackburn set up for Premier League

Stoke City striker Jon Walters rates FA Cup opponents Blackburn Rovers as Premier League class.

Stoke will meet Rovers after Monday's victory at Rochdale.

"It will be a tricky tie," said Walters, who scored the last goal in the 4-1 rout at Spotland.

"They are a Premier League team. It's a Premier League set-up, they have a Premier League training ground, academy and stadium and they have very passionate fans so it will be a good game."
