City's Under 18 side saw a win slip away after a see-saw encounter with Bolton on Saturday.
John Guidettiās penalty had put the young Blues ahead before Wanderers drew level, but Omar Elabdellaouiās 85th minute strike gave hope that City were back to winning ways after the recent defeat to Everton.
However Bolton snatched a draw with an equaliser two minutes from time, and City now have a two-week break in their league programme with next Saturdayās FA Youth Cup tie away to Preston North EndĀ looming large.
The Under 16s also played their opposite numbers from Bolton, coping superbly with the blustery conditions to record a 3-0 win.
