mentioning his age, 31 stop done it again. we kind of already knew that erling haaland is quite good at football. if those hot cakes aren't enough then we will discuss liverpool's impressive form, and laurie whittle from the athletic discusses why manchester united are still struggling. but first, from radio manchester, and leon osman analyses there started the season. osman analyses there started the season-— the season. usually everyone wants to have _ the season. usually everyone wants to have a _ the season. usually everyone wants to have a quick - the season. usually everyone wants to have a quick start i the season. usually everyone l wants to have a quick start the season. you talk about fixtures, everyone tries to assess which ones are easy and which ones are more difficult. yes, you can say that everton had an easy start but everton have been dreadful in august for the past three seasons now. they haven't had a victory. i think its 11 games. it's been farfrom ideal. they are traditionally slow starters but there have been flashes of good play. there was half an hour against brighton where everton started really well, lacked the goal is to actually make the

of cloud and spots of rain for england and wales. but scotland, northern ireland, already signs of something cooler and fresher moving in, with clearer skies, so single digits here. but double figures for england and wales. as we head into monday day, we see the back edge of that low pressure pull away in towards the near continent. it will bring further cloud, a few spots of rain during monday morning but then skies brighten up into the afternoon as it slides off into the near continent. scotland and northern ireland sees the next weather front moving in, so thicker cloud, some spots of rain later in the day, but further south it should be dry with some sunshine. but already feeling cooler and fresher, 13 to 17 degrees from north to south. monday night into first thing tuesday, low pressure starts to set into the north of the country, bringing wet and windy weather and some colder air begins to dig in behind it. further south, still double figures to start tuesday so anotherfairly mild night to come. but it will change from tuesday

onwards, behind the cold front, arctic air sinking southwards as we go through the day and it will be a strong north, north—westerly wind. unsettled picture for tuesday, this band of rain associated with the cold front, some squally rain as it spreads southwards. behind it, skies brighten up but it'll be one of sunshine and blustery showers, these heavy across the north—west and very windy for all of us, particularly across the north—east of scotland. factor in these sorts of wind speeds with these temperatures, low teens in the north, to around the mid—to—high teens in the south. it will feel noticeably chilly. it stays chilly throughout the week, temperatures below par for this time of year. most of the showers in the north. driest in the south and east but as we head into the following weekend, we start to see temperatures recover back closer to the seasonal norm.
