Manchester City will use the occasion of Burnley’s visit to the Etihad to make a presentation to Joe Hart, the returning goalkeeper who is having a training pitch at the club’s Academy Campus dedicated to him in honour of his part in helping win the title in 2012.

Chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak and City ambassador Mike Summerbee will be among those presenting Hart with a lifetime season ticket after the Burnley game. Hart was unceremoniously moved out of the club shortly after Pep Guardiola became manager, though neither seem to harbour any hard feelings. “Joe is an incredible goalkeeper and a great professional,” Guardiola said. “It was a hard decision to make but I think he understood my position a little. I am not always right, but in my job I have to make decisions.”

Hart himself said: “Having the goalkeeping pitch at the City Football Academy dedicated to me is a great honour. Manchester City has been a huge part of my life and my career, and I’m immensely proud of what I and my teammates achieved in that period.”
