Manchester City have donated surplus food to local charities after their Premier League fixtures against Arsenal and Burnley were postponed.

Elite football in Britain has been suspended until April 3, with City taking the opportunity to help the club's local community.

As reported by City's official website, the club, in conjunction with their food supplier F3, decided to donate all appropriate food due to be sold at the Arsenal game to two charities.
