Default preparing soil for grass seed (weed killer)?

Good day all,

I've prepared an area of garden for sowing grass seed. Last time I did
this, I was surprised at how many weeds appeared along with the grass. Is
it a good idea to sprinkle some weedkiller onto the soil prior to sowing
the grass seed? If so, what type is best?

Many thanks
Al


I should have said I'd give the weeds a couple of weeks to germinate
then knock them on the head with weedlo and sow the grass , (Stale seed
bed).
at least that way it will have a little less competition.
