Taylor Harwood-Bellis will return to Manchester City for the first time as an opposition player - but perhaps not with the team he once expected.
Very few Manchester City players can claim a more successful spell away from the club as Taylor Harwood-Bellis .

"He has had two seasons training with us, there are other young lads training in their first season. This is the best way to see him, in a good competition.
"He told me the manager has to be right and the club has to be right for me as it’s a big part of my career," Harwood-Bellis said after his Burnley move was confirmed. "It’s class working with him and when he called me again, I knew straight away. It was the same feeling as when he called me before I went to Anderlecht. It’s a big loan for me in my career and progression."
City also realised they would have to wait for a permanent sale, so agreed a loan with Southampton that included a £20m obligation to buy if they were to get promotion. Harwood-Bellis would have to wait for his stab at the Premier League, having never made his top flight debut for City. "I'm happy to be settled in now and there's nothing else on my mind apart from the first game and staying in the team," Harwood-Bellis told the Southern Daily Echo in the summer.
