JON Walters insists Stoke will be up for their 'men against boys' relegation clash against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Stoke, in 13th, hover just four points above third-from-bottom Villa after the Easter weekend results left a congested lower half of the table.
Now Stoke's experienced line-up is limbering up for a potential six-pointer against Villa's youngsters at the Britannia this weekend.

"It is a big game, but we've had good results against Villa down the years and we've got to go in there all guns firing."
Walters believes Stoke's 1-0 weekend loss at Everton was a blow from which they will recover because of their performance at Goodison.
"I think a draw would have been fair enough on that performance. Everton away is always going to be difficult, but we held our own.
"They've scored from a breakaway from their own 18-yard box and that is always disappointing of course," added Walters.
"We should have taken a yellow card possibly and given away a free-kick because Kevin Mirallas is running through two of our players."
Stoke returned today from their Easter Monday day off assessing Matthew Etherington (back) after he missed the Everton game.
STOKE'S home game against Manchester United on Sunday, April 14 (2.05pm) will go ahead as scheduled after the Reds lost to Chelsea in yesterday's FA Cup quarter-final replay.
