Walters warns Stoke of tough FA Cup test at Rochdale

Stoke City striker Jon Walters is looking forward to their next FA Cup tie.

Walters is already eyeing the televised FA Cup fourth-round game at Rochdale on Monday, January 26 - and hoping Stoke have learnt a lesson from being taken close by his old side Wrexham in the previous round.

He said: "I've played at Rochdale a couple of times. It's a difficult place to play and you need to know what it takes to win those sort of games. I'm sure the manager knows that.

"We've got Leicester first before we can concentrate on the FA Cup, but it's a winnable game and out of all the draw it's probably one that you wanted.

"They're going to try to make life very, very difficult for us, without a shadow of a doubt. We know cup ties like that can cause upsets and we don't want to be making headlines for the wrong reasons."
