This was always going to be a big season for two of Manchester City's brightest young players.
For Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle, they are arguably victims of their own success. They have proven themselves to be far too good for under-23 football, and were starting to knock on the door of Pep Guardiola's first team.
However, for centre-back Harwood-Bellis, he knows that he would be at least fifth choice in the pecking order, and limited to occasional substitute appearances and sporadic cup games against lower league opposition. Likewise, Doyle would be at least sixth in the midfield ranks, yet he had outgrown the EDS team he captained to the title last season.
