And somehow, everyone RSVP’d with “maybe.” Manchester City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa all dropped points this weekend, unable to capitalize on the results of the others.On this episode of Starting Eleven, Adelia and Snark zero in on a defining weekend where the door cracked open… and then stayed awkwardly ajar.It starts with Manchester United shocking Manchester City with a 2–0 win — a result that handed Arsenal a golden chance to go nine points clear of City in the title race.Except… they didn’t.Arsenal traveled to Nottingham Forest and came away with a scoreless draw, failing to capitalize on City’s stumble and leaving the title race tighter — and moodier — than it needed to be.And just when you thought someone might seize the moment? Aston Villa also declined the invitation, falling 1–0 at home to Everton, missing a chance to make real ground with both City dropping points and Arsenal stalled.We break down:- How Man United flipped the script on City- Why Arsenal couldn’t turn advantage into separation- Aston Villa’s missed opportunity in a suddenly generous table- What these results actually mean for the title race and top-four picture- And which clubs will regret Matchweek 22 when April rolls aroundThis wasn’t a week about brilliance.
