Manchester City and Arsenal need to "wake up".

Pellegrini and Wenger

After suffering defeats to Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively in the Uefa Champions league, both Manchester City and Arsenal will have to ignite the "fire" in their fans this weekend in the premier league. Both clubs suffered the same faith as Pellegrini's and Arsene Wenger's men were reduced to ten men before been beating 2-0 by their European contenders.
Manchester City come up against Stoke City at  the Etihad which seemed to have been their fortress until recent events. Pellegrini would very much want to return to winning ways and the Etihad would be the best place to do that in front of the home fans.
Arsenal's splendid performance seemed to have crushed after that 5-1 whooping at the Anfield. A win against the "boys" from Anfield in the quarter finals of the FA Cup brought some light to the Emirates. However they have another opportunity to "rise out" of the defeat to Bayern Munich as they play Sunderland at the Emirates on Saturday.
A win would see both clubs deeply in the "fight" for this season's Championship challenge.
