It seems David Luiz wasn't the only one to lose his head at the Etihad Stadium last night, as a bizarre clip involving Gary Neville and Martin Tyler shows.
The video, which has promptly gone viral, sees the camera pan to Sky Sports' regular broadcasting duo in the TV gantry prior to Manchester City's 3-0 win over Arsenal last night.
You see Neville with his microphone in hand ready to belt out his first "Oooooooh" of the Premier League restart, but while we hear Tyler - it looks as though the legendary commentator's head is missing and it's really, really weird.

City supporters do sing that they are "the fans of the invisible man" but this spooky clip has unsurprisingly tripped a lot of people out.
For context though, Tyler was actually sat further away than Neville to adhere to social distancing rules - but we still don't know why there was a coat on the chair next to the Manchester United legend making it look there was a headless person sat there.
The other unusual sighting in Sky Sports' coverage was Jamie Carragher stood on his own, holding an umbrella pitchside and giving his analysis on the early stages of the game.

#PremierLeagueIsBack and weirder than ever. Fifa are providing the crowd noise, the goal-line technology doesn’t work and Jamie Carragher is wondering around the Etihad with an umbrella. But it’s still better than nothing.

Add in the fact that goal-line technology stopped working properly for the first time ever in the opening game Aston Villa and Sheffield United and it's already been a very weird return for Premier League football.
