The last managerial debut of the new Barclays Premier League season will take place at the Etihad Stadium as new Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini leads his side against Alan Pardew and visiting Newcastle United. The match can be seen on TSN at 2:30pm et/11:30am pt. Pellegrini will not be the only new man on the pitch for Manchester City, who completed over $100 million in transfer business during the offseason to bring in the likes of Stevan Jovetic, Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo, adding them to an already impressive offensive attack. Sergio Aguero is still the main striker on the team and though he has been battling pre-season injuries, he is expected to be healthy for the season opener. With main title contending rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both opening the season with impressive and dominant victories, its up to City to show that they belong in the upper class of the Premier League again this season. Newcastle struggled down the stretch last season, especially on the road where they ended the year with just two wins away from St. James Park, and eventually found themselves in a relegation battle that they narrowly escaped into a 16th-place finish. Loic Remy has joined the ranks, on loan from Queens Park Rangers, to finally fill the void left behind by last seasons transfer of Demba Ba to Chelsea. He was one of the few bright spots on a team that occupied the bottom of the table for most of the season and now compete a League down in the Championship. Hatem Ben Arfa will be counted on from an attacking midfield position to run at Citys defenders and create problems in the offensive half of the field. Manchester City has won the last three meetings between the clubs, including a 4-0 victory at home in March of last season. Citys 14 home wins last season put them second best in the BPL, behind only the 16 captured by Manchester United. Cheap Basketball Jerseys . -- The Florida Gators are first yet again this season.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- In a season-long search for success, the Orlando Magic found a few things to celebrate in their victory over the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves. Arron Afflalo broke out of a six-game shooting slump and Kyle OQuinn rebounded from a dreadful game the night before to help the Magic rally from a 13-point second-half deficit and defeat the Timberwolves 100-92 Saturday night. Afflalo, who hadnt scored in double figures his last three games and was 14 of 47 (29 per cent) from the field in his last five, hit 8 of 15 from the field and scored 18 points against Minnesota, which played without injured starters Kevin Love, Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic and lost replacement starter Chase Budinger in the first minute of the game with an ankle injury. OQuinn, who was just 5 of 20 and got exploited by Al Jefferson in a loss to Charlotte Friday night, came back with 14 points and 13 rebounds against the Timberwolves. Tobias Harris and Maurice Harkless added 17 points apiece for the Magic. Rookie Victor Oladipo contributed 16 points and six assists, plus good defence in the fourth quarter against Timberwolves playmaker Ricky Rubio to help Orlando end a three-game losing streak. Orlando shot 60.5 per cent in the second half and pounded the Timberwolves on the boards, 40-30. "There were a lot of good story lines from this game," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "We got a lot of contributions all across the board. We had 29 assists, hit the open guy and trusted the consequences of whatever came from it." OQuinns performance was important because the Magic had their own injury problem with starting centre Nikola Vucevic missing a second straight game with a sore Achilles tendon. His replacement, Dewayne Dedmon, scored on his first shot of the game, but didnt make another shot and played only 14 minutes. That put the onus on OQuinn to control the inside and he responded with one of the best games of his career. "Last night was a rough night for me," OQuinn said. "There were points where I could have made a shot and turned things around, but we lost so I had to bounce back. You have to have a short memory, but we stuck together and got the result we wanted." Minnesota got 18 points and 10 assists from Rubio,, but he couldnt find many familiar faces in the lineup with him when the game went down to the final four minutes with the Timberwolves trying to hold on to an 89-88 lead.dddddddddddd Reserves were filling the roles usually played by Love, Martin and Pekovic. The result was an 0-for-6 stretch that allowed Orlando to go on a 10-1 run and put the game away. "Were playing combinations that havent played before and you get to the fourth quarter and things really start affecting you," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "Guys played hard, but we just couldnt finish it." Dante Cunningham, who missed one game after being arrested for domestic assault, rejoined the Timberwolves and scored 12 points. "When you play with guys like Kevin Love or Kevin Martin, you know where they like to play," Rubio said. "When youre playing with new guys, you have to figure it out. We just ran out of energy. We have to fight through it." The Magic rallied from 12 points down with five minutes to go in the third quarter. The combination of sloppy ball handling by the Magic and Rubio having his way against a porous Magic defence allowed the Timberwolves to push a 48-46 halftime lead up to 13 points in the third quarter. When Rubio went to the bench, Minnesotas offensive rhythm went with him. Oladipo and Harris took advantage, helping the Magic close the gap to 77-72 by the end of the third quarter and open the final period with an 8-2 run. A steal and jam by Harris gave Orlando an 80-79 advantage with 8:38 left. Minnesota reclaimed the lead with another drive through the lane by Rubio giving the Timberwolves an 89-88 lead with 4:26 left in the game. Oladipo drilled another 3 to start Orlando on the clinching 10-1 run.
