You got that right, Max?

Yeah, I did, yeah.

across a range of competitions all in one place.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. Alexander Isak's Liverpool are top of the league. One kick from Dominic Soberzlai rockets them to the top. It was a bad game settled by a quite brilliant goal. It looked like it sped up. It could be huge in the title race, as could the most expensive signing in Premier League history. A title race that Manchester City might not be part of. Two defeats in three feels like a crisis for them. James Milner, the second oldest Premier League scorer ever. A priceless penalty for Ruben Amarim as Manchester United beat Burnley in injury time. A priceless last six minutes at the city ground for Graham Potter. Ably me we've got this far without mentioning decisions and VAR. You feel for Fulham. You really do. The PGMOL apology is already in.

Everton probably won't get relegated, Barry. Grealish, Jews, Brehoran and die is nice, isn't it? All the Spurs optimism is burst by Bournemouth, who absolutely battered than 1-0. Crisis at Villa, question mark as Mark Gay, maybe says goodbye to Palace with a lovely goal. Lots of grappling at the Stadium of Light as as Sunderland get a second win, and almost nothing happens at Ellen Rhodes. All that,

which is a lot, your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, Philippe-Claire, bonjouréva.

So-sav, but I'm already tired. I'm exhausted. Yeah, I know.

There's a lot to

get through and a panel

that like to talk.

So apologies to Leeds and Newcastle fans already. Norrini Chowdry, hello? Hello? And welcome Lars Siverton. Yeah, I have no idea how this is going to work getting through this in any kind of. What's the longest time we can do before the producers start like blasting

us into outer space or something? If it gets to see it. this in any kind of. What's the longest time we can do before the producers start like

blasting us into outer space or something? If it gets to 63 minutes, there's fury in my ears.

Let's start at Anfield then, and we will talk about Liverpool and Arsenal in a second,

but I suppose we probably, Niles should start with Alexander Isaac, signing for 125 million,

rising to 130 million on a six-year deal.
