Q: How to move figure window in interactive mode in matplotlib? I'm trying to monitor real-time data with matplotlib.
I found that I can update plot dynamically with interactive mode in Pyplot.
And it worked well, but one problem is 'I cannot manipulate the figure window at all'. For example, move or re-size the figure window.
Here is my code.
This is cons of interactive mode? or I'm using it incorrectly?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import time
import math

# generate data
x = [0.1*_a for _a in range(1000)]
y = map(lambda x : math.sin(x), x)

# interactive mode
plt.ion() # identical plt.interactive(True)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# ax = plt.gca()
lines,  = ax.plot([], [])

# ax.set_ylim(-1, 1)
ax.grid()

MAX_N_DATA = 100
x_data = []
y_data = []
for i in range(len(x)):
    # New data received
    x_data.append(x[i])
    y_data.append(y[i])

    # limit data length
    if x_data.__len__() > MAX_N_DATA:
        x_data.pop(0)
        y_data.pop(0)

    # Set Data
    lines.set_xdata(x_data)
    lines.set_ydata(y_data)

    # The data limits are not updated automatically.
    ax.relim()
    # with tight True, graph flows smoothly.
    ax.autoscale_view(tight=True, scalex=True, scaley=True)

    # draw
    plt.draw()
    time.sleep(0.01)

Thank you.

A: As shown in this answer to another question, replace plt.draw() with plt.pause(0.05). This solved the problem for me.

A: Although I still think you should use bokeh, I'll tell you how to do it with matplotlib.
The problem why it won't work ist that matplotlib's event loop is not active and therefore it cannot digest window events (like close or resize). Unfortunately it is not possible to trigger this digestion from the outside. What you have to do is to use matplotlib's animation system.
Your code is actually quite well prepared for it so you can use FuncAnimation.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
import math

# generate data
x = [0.1*_a for _a in range(1000)]
y = map(lambda x : math.sin(x), x)

# don't need ion, we're using block=True (see end of code)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig.show()
# ax = plt.gca()
lines,  = ax.plot([], [])

# ax.set_ylim(-1, 1)
ax.grid()

MAX_N_DATA = 100
x_data = []
y_data = []

def showdata(i):

    # New data received
    x_data.append(x[i])
    y_data.append(y[i])

    # limit data length
    if x_data.__len__() > MAX_N_DATA:
        x_data.pop(0)
        y_data.pop(0)

    # Set Data
    lines.set_xdata(x_data)
    lines.set_ydata(y_data)

    # The data limits are not updated automatically.
    ax.relim()
    # with tight True, graph flows smoothly.
    ax.autoscale_view(tight=True, scalex=True, scaley=True)

    # draw will be called by the animation system

# instead of time.sleep(0.01) we use an update interval of 10ms
# which has the same effect
anim = FuncAnimation(fig, showdata, range(len(x)), interval=10, repeat=False)

# start eventloop
plt.show(block=True)

Big Papi to Big Apple? Ortiz talks free agency
David Ortiz talks free agency, Sox mess
ESPN.com news services
Could Big Papi really relocate to the Big Apple?
Longtime Boston Red Sox slugger and free-agent-to-be David Ortiz spoke about the possibility of signing with the AL East rival New York Yankees during an interview Wednesday with ESPN's Colleen Dominguez, after expressing frustration with the state of the Red Sox, who've seen manager Terry Francona and general manager Theo Epstein leave in the wake of the team's September collapse.
"There's too much drama, man," Ortiz told Dominguez in reference to the Red Sox. "There's too much drama. I have been thinking about a lot of things. I don't know if I want to be part of this drama for next year."
But would Ortiz really consider defecting to the other side of baseball's biggest rivalry?
"That's something I gotta think about," Ortiz said. "I've been here on the Red Sox a long time, and I've seen how everything goes down between these two ballclubs."
Ortiz stopped well short of saying he wanted to play for the Yankees, but did express respect for the organization.
"It's great from what I hear," Ortiz said of the Yankees. "It's a good situation to be involved in. Who doesn't want to be involved in a great situation where everything goes the right way?
"They lost just like we did, they just went to the first round of the playoffs. I ain't heard nobody coming out killing everybody just because they lost."
Ortiz said the drama in Boston, the issues circulating since the end of the season, need to be addressed.
"The owners need to take care of it right now so everybody can come in with a fresh mind next year and do what they're supposed to do."
Ortiz is coming off a season in which he hit .309 with 29 homers (though just one in September) and 96 RBIs. He made $12.5 million this year after the Red Sox picked up his player option last fall, and at several points this season has expressed his desire for a multiyear contract.
Two weeks ago, Ortiz told ESPNBoston.com that Boston is a tough place to play, but also expressed a desire to return. On Wednesday, he said he didn't understand those who think the Red Sox should part ways with him.
"I see a lot of people out there asking the Red Sox to let Papi go, and I don't know why," Ortiz told Dominguez. "As long as I've been here, I'm just doing my thing."
Ortiz wasn't sure how his impending free agency would play out.
"We'll see how things go down," he said.
Ortiz said he was still hurting from the Red Sox's missing out on the playoffs after going 7-20 in September.
"That was a surprise because no one expected to fail like that," he said.
"No one expected us to be that bad after everything we had accomplished the whole season. It was devastating."
Ortiz said he didn't know of Epstein's impeding departure to the Chicago Cubs until Dominguez asked him about it during the interview.
"I am just finding out right now," he said. "I have been disconnected from all the drama going on around here. Too much drama. My head is spinning way too much to deal with everything that is going on. I have unplugged, you know, and I have just been dealing with my family."
Nonetheless, Ortiz did voice support for Francona, who has seen the lion's share of criticism fall on him for a perceived lack of leadership and discipline amid a clubhouse culture that has come under fire.
"I don't know why people want to blame (Francona) for all of this," Ortiz said. "He can tell us what to do. But he is not the one who has to go out there and perform."
As for the reports of drinking in the clubhouse, Ortiz said it was nothing new.
"We had that when we won the World Series in 2004," he said. "We had that when we won the World Series in 2007. Beer in the clubhouse, it's always been there. Video games, that's always been there; guys eating fried chicken, that's always been there."
Despite all the uncertainty and upheaval in Boston, Ortiz said his approach remains the same.
"I just want to play baseball," he said. "I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me."
Whatever uniform he dons next year, Ortiz promised his priorities wouldn't change.
"Trust me, I play the game for the fans, my family and myself," he said.
Information from ESPNBoston.com's Joe McDonald was used in this report.

Oil Prices Jump As Saudi Damage Might Take Months To Fix
By Radio Farda
Smoke is seen following a fire at Aramco facility in the eastern city of Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia, September 14, 2019.
World oil prices have seen their biggest surge since 1991, with the highly destructive attack on Saudi oil installation two days ago, at one point climbing 19 percent.
Right after the attack it was clear that more than five million barrels of Saudi Arabia's daily oil output was lost, but Aramco, the state monopoly said it was working to restore operations with days or weeks.
But on Monday Reuters quoted two sources briefed on the operations it may take months for Saudi oil production to return to normal.
The jump in prices was the biggest since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991 until President Donald Trump announced he has authorized release of oil from the U.S. national reserves. Saudi Arabia also said it will use its reserves estimated to be 200 million barrels.
Prices declined after the 19 percent highs at the beginning of trading on Monday and settled at around 8-10 percent higher.
U.S. officials continued to insist that the attack did not come from Yemen, but from launch sites to the north, suggesting Iraqi territory might have been used. They blame Iran for launching the attacks although no final verdict has been issued.
Some reports suggest that some sensitive infrastructure has been completely destroyed in the attack and would need full reconstruction, which might take months to complete.

My mother-in-law made this quilt for us last year. It's hard to believe that it was one of the first quilting projects she ever did.
You can't see it, but all of our names (including the pets) are sewn into the fabric as part of the quilting.
It's a treasure that I hope to pass on to our grandchildren one day.
As a quilter, I am notably impressed. Not only is this quilt beautiful and a wonderful keepsake, it is amazing that this was one of your MIL's first projects. Kudos to her and thanks for sharing it with your readers here.
Wow! That's gorgeous for a beginner project. How ambitious. I've thought about getting into quilting but just haven't had the time yet. One day, I hope.
Very cool. My mom is a quilter and we have stacks in our linen closet. There is nothing like snuggling up with a warm quilt to read.
It's beautiful. What an amazing treasure!
Lu – It is pretty impressive. Our quilt was the project for her first quilting class. Everyone told her to start with something smaller, but she didn't listen (now I know where her son gets his determination!).
Carla – It's something I'd love to do one day too.
Chelee – How lucky to have stacks of homemade quilts!!
Katie – Thanks – it's pretty special.


Single-swim admission is not available to the traveling general public, unless registered as a guest at the hotel or purchasing a treatment in the spa.
The spa used to sell day passes to use the pool, but ceased that practice in March, 2016.
A very nice facility and hardly anyone ever uses the lap pool. The principal attraction is the hot pools.


Numerical integration and differentiation. Power demand on an automotive engine.
You work for a Formula 1 team. You happen to obtain a record of velocity versus elapsed time during a lap test for the car of your competitor. No other information is available due to commercial-inconfidence restrictions.
The knowledge about the power of the competitor's car engine would allow your team to fine-tune the power characteristics of your car engine to exceed that of the competitor's.
You are given a task of estimating the power characteristics of their engine.
On the website, under the heading Sample data files: Car speed vs time data, there is a a twocolumn text file, containing a record of speed of an accelerating vehicle (in km/h), starting from a stationary position. Values in the first column are the elapsed time from the start (in seconds) and the corresponding values of velocity (km/h) are in the second column. To save the file right-click on the link and select 'Save target as'.
1 Make appropriate analysis of how to determine the power that the vehicle power drive must supply at each point of time to produce that velocity profile. First, neglect aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance and other friction losses If you need to assume some values, do so.
2 At each point of time determine the distance from the start that the vehicle has travelled. This requires numerical integration, such as trapezoidal integration.
4 Calculate the power demand at each point of time.
5 Now consider the rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag with a rolling friction coefficient and aerodynamic drag coefficient typical to vehicles. What is the drive power at each point of time now? Make assumptions and select values from a realistic range as required.
Make hard copies of plots showing the results and bring them to the Lab in Week 5.

"This can be a 12 months to be extra inventive in your gift-giving," says Kerri Camp, affiliate professor of promoting at The College of Texas at Tyler. "Cash is tight for many individuals, and the price of items has gone up, however you may give issues that aren't as reliant on the availability chain."
1. Services and products from native small companies
"My first tip to customers is to buy native. Now could be the time to go go to your native, small retailers, as a result of they may have all the things in inventory and can wish to promote them," says Jane Boyd Thomas, professor of promoting at Winthrop College in South Carolina. "You too can get extra perks like present wrapping and in-house personalization."
It's additionally a technique to help the neighborhood.

2. Edible and perishable items
"Perishable meals objects can't keep in transport containers so go by different strategies, like air. We aren't seeing provide chain disruptions on airplanes, so it's a lot simpler to get these objects in inventory," Camp says. Consumers may store on-line for month-to-month subscriptions for objects like meals, flowers and low, so present recipients proceed to obtain containers all 12 months lengthy.
At 1-800-Flowers.com, which incorporates manufacturers like Harry & David and Wolferman's Bakery, spokesperson Kathleen Waugh mentioned that many objects — together with baked items, sweet and pears — originate from the US, in order that they don't face worldwide delays.

"Worldwide shares don't have an effect on us as a result of we're promoting what's already accessible," she says. If some provides are barely delayed, as they are often generally, then she simply shifts what she sells, corresponding to promoting a unique dimension doll that she will be able to make primarily based on the provides she already has in inventory.
"A hand-crafted enterprise can regulate," she says. Garcia Salinas, who relies in Fort Myers, Florida, says she expects demand for handmade objects like hers to be excessive this season, so she encourages customers to put their orders by the primary week of December.
4. Merchandise which can be made in America
On the Made In America Retailer, lots of of toys, video games, cookware, paper provides and extra are able to ship, and the entire objects are made in the US.

The toys at Andol's retailer embody yo-yos, vans and puzzles, however not electronics, which Camp says is particularly helpful for youths this 12 months. "Youngsters have been inundated with electronics during the last 12 months and a half, and it's time to get again into arts and crafts, video games, books, science experiments — issues that improve their creativity with out electronics," she says. Since many digital objects come from abroad, you may as well keep away from transport delays by skipping them and specializing in extra conventional toys as a substitute.
5. Digital items
"That is the 12 months of the downloadable present," Madhok says. Whereas it may be exhausting to discover a specific online game cartridge on the market, for instance, you'll be able to obtain the digital model on to your gaming system.

Madhok recommends pairing digital items with one thing tangible to wrap, corresponding to an iTunes present certificates together with a pleasant bowl and popcorn.

Q: Login to Docker Hub from PHP script I am trying to login and push Docker images from a PHP script as part of our CICD process. Here is the code:
<?php

include '../php/database.php';

$duser = 'username';
$dpass = 'password';
$dmail = 'email';

$tag = 'from system';

function tagImage($tag) {
    $getImageID = "SELECT `imageID` FROM `docker_images` WHERE `tag` = :tag ";
    $params = array(':tag' => $tag);
    $results = dataQuery($getImageID, $params);
    if(!empty($results)) {
        $image = $results[0]['imageID'];
        global $repo = $results[0]['repo']; // I know this is a bad idea, will change it when all else is working
        $last = system("sudo docker tag -f $image $repo 2>&1", $retval);
    }
    return $retval;
}

$tagStatus = tagImage($tag);

if(0 == $tagStatus) {
    echo '<pre>';

    $login = system("sudo docker login --username=$duser", $retval);
    var_dump($login);
    var_dump($retval);
    // push it real good
    $last = system("sudo docker push $repo 2>&1", $retval1);
    var_dump($last);
    var_dump($retval1);
}
?>

This returns the following:
string(0) ""
int(1)
The push refers to a repository [app/ap-name] (len: 1)
21d623eb89a9: Image push failed

Please login prior to push:
Username: EOF
string(13) "Username: EOF"
int(1)

The push is failing because the login is not working from the PHP script, however, when I login from the command line the login is successful.
What am I doing wrong? Can I login to Docker Hub with PHP like this? Or should the technique be different?
EDIT: The PHP script will be called via AJAX, effectively making it run as if it were being run from the browser. I am running it from the browser for testing purposes.

A: The login requires all of the credentials including password and email address associated with the Docker hub repo:
$login = system("sudo docker login --username $duser --password $dpass --email $dmail 2>&1", $retval);
var_dump($login);
var_dump($retval);

Using this syntax returns the following (expected):
WARNING: login credentials saved in /root/.dockercfg.
Login Succeeded
string(15) "Login Succeeded"
int(0)

Past that point the push works properly and returns no errors.


An estimated 60,000 individuals are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) each year. That equates to one person every nine minutes. Parkinson's Disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder, specifically a movement disorder, affecting the dopamine-producing cells of the brain that control muscle movement. When those cells die, symptoms of PD appear in patients, including rigidity in movement, tremors, instability, gait problems and reduced facial expressions.
This article is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition. If you believe you may have Parkinson's Disease, please contact your medical professional.
Friends of Parkinson's is a nonprofit organization that provides support, resources and lifestyle management to those affected by neurological disorders and the neurological community related to PD in Las Vegas and surrounding areas. The events are designed to create engagement among the movement disorder community in a safe and comfortable environment where patients may not otherwise be encouraged to leave their own homes. These support groups are professionally facilitated and are offered at no cost to the participants.
Through fundraising events, including the annual Funny Bunny Run in the spring, the Sock Hop in the fall, and other related events including two medical symposiums and educational opportunities, Friends of Parkinson's builds hope in the neurological community.

Daniel MacPherson stranded in Ireland after flight to Sydney cancelled due to hotel quarantine issue
Daniel MacPherson has been left stranded in Ireland after Etihad Airways unceremoniously cancelled his flight back to Sydney.
The Aussie actor was returning home for the Christmas holidays after being in Limerick, Ireland, in recent months filming an as-yet-titled project.
In an Instagram Stories post, MacPherson, 40, claimed that a quarantine issue in NSW meant the government could not accommodate him or his fellow passengers and therefore had to cancel the flight amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"Had my seat cancelled today by @etihad due to @nswgovernment1 [sic] hotel quarantine caps. Been booked and paid since September. Quarantine at my cost. No option to rebook or change date. Just cancelled. 4 weeks before Xmas," read a note he shared.
"Now I'm very fortunate. I'll work it out. It'll be fine. But feel for those in the same position, who don't have the finances or flexibility to get home this Xmas. Needs to be a better strategy. A longer term solution. There's gotta be."
Daniel MacPherson reveals flight back to Sydney was cancelled due to hotel quarantine issue. (Instagram)
But no matter where MacPherson is in the world, he is reminded of his supportive wife back home, actress Zoe Ventoura.
When the actor first landed the role in the Ireland-based project last year, Ventura urged him to take it even if it meant he would be away for the later stages of her pregnancy.
The couple have since welcomed son Austin, and spent the coronavirus lockdown bonding as a family at their home in Sydney before he was summoned back to Ireland.

"Thankfully I have a very understanding wife when I rang up and said, 'Hey I think I might have got this job', having told her that I was going to take at least three months off to come home and recover from seven months away and be there as a husband and as a new father," he explained on Samantha Gash's podcast back in May.
"Thankfully I have someone in my life who understands the way I think and is open to that and it's all working out."
Still, MacPherson will be doing all he can to get back by Ventoura's side to help celebrate their son's first birthday next month — and the actor has already been counting down the days.
"10 Months Today," he captioned a photo of Austin on October 1. "What an honour it is to be your father."

TTAB - Trademark Trial and Appeal Board - *1 IN RE DEBBIE SAUER Serial No. 73/822,435 April 23, 1993
*1 IN RE DEBBIE SAUER
Hearing: February 4, 1993
Debbie Sauer, pro se.
Paul E. Fahrenkopf
Opinion by Cissel
On August 30, 1989 Debbie Sauer applied to register the mark shown below on the Principal Register for "an oblong shaped ball made of white leather with red stitching at the seams."
Use since July 12, 1989 was claimed. At the request of the Examining Attorney, applicant disclaimed the word "BALL" and the configuration of the goods apart from the mark as shown.
Registration has been finally refused under Sections 2(a) and 2(c) of the Lanham Act. Applicant has appealed the final refusals to register. She filed a brief and appeared on her own behalf at the February 4, 1993 oral hearing which was held at her request.
The refusal under Section 2(a) of the Act is based on the contention that the mark falsely suggests a connection with Bo Jackson, a well-known professional athlete. The refusal under Section 2(c) is based on the contention that the mark consists of the name identifying Mr. Jackson, and thus cannot be registered by applicant without Mr. Jackson's written consent to registration.
Based on the materials of record in this application, we conclude that prospective purchasers of applicant's balls would mistakenly view the mark in its entirety as suggesting a connection with Bo Jackson. This makes the mark unregistrable under Section 2(a) of the Act. Such purchasers of these products would also recognize the name "Bo," as it appears in the mark on these goods, as Mr. Jackson's name. In the absence of a written consent from him, this runs afoul of Section 2(c) of the Act.
The record consists of twenty-five exhibits, sixteen of which were submitted by the Examining Attorney and nine of which were submitted by applicant with her brief. Normally we would consider the latter to be untimely under Trademark Rule 2.142(d), but the Examining Attorney has specifically agreed to their inclusion in the record on appeal, so we have considered these exhibits as if they had been properly made of record.
As the Examining Attorney correctly points out, the test for determining the propriety of a refusal to register based on Section 2(a) has four parts. The mark must be shown to be the same as or a close approximation of the person's previously used name or identity. It must be established that the mark (or part of it) would be recognized as such. It must be shown that the person in question is not connected with the goods or services of the applicant, and finally, the person's name or identity must be of sufficient fame that when it is used as part or all of the mark on applicant's goods, a connection with that person is likely to be made by someone considering purchasing the goods. Buffett v. Chi-Chi's, Inc., 226 USPQ 428 (TTAB 1985).
*2 The evidence submitted by the Examining Attorney establishes that Bo Jackson is a famous athlete who has played both professional football and baseball. Included in these materials are Bo Jackson baseball cards; Bo Jackson football cards; advertisements for Bo Jackson figurines and toys; a copy of a tag from a Bo Jackson model baseball glove; a copy of a Cheerios cereal box referring to Bo Jackson; and copies of magazines with articles about and cover references to Bo Jackson. These materials show that Bo Jackson is well known and has been a highly regarded collegiate and professional athlete in both baseball and football. The aforementioned evidence establishes that "Bo" is widely recognized and used as Bo Jackson's nickname, which he has had since childhood. He is frequently referred to by "Bo" alone, without any reference at all to his surname.
Applicant argues that "Bo" is also the given name of several other widely recognized celebrities, such as Bo Diaz, Bo Belinsky, Bo Bo Osborne and Bo Schembechler, and that therefore "Bo" would not necessarily be understood to refer to Bo Jackson. While these other people named "Bo" have been in the public eye to varying degrees, the record does not show that any of them is famous to nearly the same degree as Bo Jackson is, or that any of them is famous as both a baseball and football star like Bo Jackson is. Further, there is no evidentiary support for the proposition that any of the other people named by applicant has ever commercially exploited his or her nickname in connection with the sale of products as Bo Jackson has. [FN1]
The mark uses Bo Jackson's famous nickname in combination with the generic term "Ball" and the design of a ball which appears to be a combination of a baseball and a football (oblong like a football, but with exposed stitching like a baseball). Applicant's press release confirms this dual nature of the ball. The evidence also confirms the dual nature of Bo Jackson's notoriety as both a baseball player and a football player. The use of his name "Bo" as part of a mark which suggests both kinds of balls on goods like these plainly would be recognized by prospective purchasers of such goods as a reference to Bo Jackson.
As to the third part of the test, the record does not reflect any connection between applicant and Bo Jackson, nor has applicant claimed that any such connection exists.
The record is clear that Bo Jackson has achieved great fame and notoriety, so that when his nickname is used as part of the "Bo Ball" and design mark on applicant's goods, purchasers will likely make a connection between him and applicant's products. In that all four parts of the test for refusal under Section 2(a) are met, the refusal is affirmed.
The refusal based on Section 2(c) of the Act is also well taken. That section prohibits registration of a mark which "consists of or comprises a name ... identifying a particular living individual except by his written consent ..." The section operates to bar the registration of marks containing not only full names, but also surnames, shortened names, nicknames, etc., so long as the name in question does, in fact, "identify" a particular living individual. See, for example: Societe Civile Des Domaines Dourthe Freres v. S.A. Consortium Vinicole De Bordeaux Et De La Gironde, 6 USPQ2d 1205 (TTAB 1988); In re D.B. Kaplan's Delicatessen, 225 USPQ 342 (TTAB 1985); and John Anthony, Inc. v. Fashions by John Anthony, Inc., 209 USPQ 517 (TTAB 1990). A name is deemed to "identify" a particular living individual, for purposes of Section 2(c), only if the "individual bearing the name in question will be associated with the mark as used on the goods, either because that person is so well known that the public would reasonably assume the connection, or because the individual is publicly connected with the business in which the mark is used." See: Martin v. Carter Hawley Hale Stores, Inc., 206 USPQ 931 (TTAB 1979). See also: 1 J. McCarthy, Trademarks and Unfair Competition, § 13.12, (2d ed. 1984) at 618.
*3 In the case at hand this test is met. The record establishes that Bo Jackson is widely known by his nickname, and that when his nickname is used without his surname in connection with the goods of applicant, an association between him and the goods or with applicant's business would be assumed by purchasers of such products. His fame as both a baseball player and a football player, and the fact that he has commercially endorsed other products support this conclusion. He has not given applicant his written consent to use and register his name.
Decision: The refusal under Section 2(c) is therefore affirmed as well as the refusal under Section 2(a).
FN1. Applicant's assertion that she took an informal survey as to how the mark is perceived is without evidentiary support. Also, in her brief and at oral hearing, she asked the Office to join her in conducting a survey to confirm that "Bo," as used on these goods, points uniquely to Bo Jackson. The Office is under no obligation to conduct surveys, nor does it have the resources to do so. Moreover, the evidentiary record in a case such as this should be complete prior to appeal. If applicant wished to rely on survey evidence, it was applicant's obligation to commission, and timely submit the results of, a credible survey. Accordingly, the request is denied.


Manchester City and Liverpool will clash in the Premier League's best match of the new year on Tuesday when the surging Reds visit the Etihad Stadium to take on the league leaders.
Liverpool defeated Newcastle on Friday to tie Chelsea for fifth place in the league table after the Blues were beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard has featured in the last two matches as a substitute as he works his way back to full fitness. He scored the final goal of Friday's victory.
City were riding a two match winning streak in league play before they surprisingly drew to West Bromwich Albion 0-0 on December 26.
The two clubs drew 1-1 at Anfield back on November 27. Let's look at everything you need to know about this awesome matchup between English powers.
In a match against a good club like Liverpool, Manchester City needs to score several goals. Forward Sergio Aguero is the club's best goal scorer and arguably their most talented player.
The Argentinian has scored 13 league goals this season which ranks third in the Premier League. Aguero has great pace and is one of the most accurate finishers in front of goal in all of Europe.
His dribbling skills are also world-class. He can keep his composure even when multiple defenders are around him.
Aguero is a match winner and certainly someone you must pay close attention to on Tuesday against the Reds.
The Liverpool legend and captain has played in the last two matches as a substitute and looks ready to start on Tuesday against Manchester City.
Gerrard is one of the world's best midfielders and his combination of exquisite passing and timely goal scoring is so vital to the success of of the club.
When he came onto the pitch Friday against Newcastle, the team instantly became a better squad with Gerrard setting up quality scoring chances for his teammates, and even scoring himself.
Be sure to watch Gerrard against City and notice how much he effects the game.
Both club's best players are in the midfield. Whoever controls the middle third of the pitch will control the match and have the best chance to take all three points.
City will want David Silva, Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri to dominate possession and excel in the playmaking role each of them performs so well.
Liverpool is hoping Gerrard, Charlie Adam and the in-form Craig Bellamy can break through the City midfield and set up scoring chances against City goalkeeper Joe Hart, who the Reds tested a lot in the November league match at Anfield.
Whichever club's midfield plays better will win the match.
"They are a fantastic team who have started the season really well but we've got nothing to fear," Gerrard told liverpoolfc.tv.
"We showed against them here a couple of weeks ago that we more than matched them. These are exciting games, and these are the games as a player you want to play in. I can't wait.
"We've been very strong on the road. It's at home that we haven't got the results our football has deserved but we will go to City full of confidence. We will give it our best shot and see where it takes us."
"For me it is not ok but I am not his father," he said. "If he were my son, I would give him a kick up the arse but he is not my son.
"I have told him it is better that he doesn't smoke because I am always against cigarettes and that's why my son doesn't smoke."
When Liverpool drew to Manchester City 1-1 on November 26 they were the better side in the second half. If not for some spectacular saves from Hart, the Reds could have won the match 2-1 or 3-1.
With Gerrard looking good after returning from injury, and with midfielder Craig Bellamy in form, Liverpool will pull off the upset and take all three points from the league leaders away from home.
Gerrard's presence in the team is so important and he really gives Liverpool a lot more attacking quality.
The Reds' defense has also not allowed two or more goals since September 18.
Liverpool's ability to defend goalkeeper Pepe Reina combined with Gerrard's attacking talent will carry the club past Manchester City with a hard fought 2-1 victory.

The Huawei P30 Pro has been unveiled officially. The phone features an 8MP periscope zoom camera which reaches a focal length of 125mm. With its optical image stabilization (OIS), photos and videos are expected to be smooth. The two other cameras were also upgraded by Huawei and Leica.
Sony added a custom 40MP sensor with a RYYB color filter arrays. The yellow will occupy the position of the Green so as to improve the low light performance (Huawei was already a king in this field). And the highest ISO is now x2 what the Mate 20 Pro could pull off and it is further assisted by the brighter f/1.6 aperture and OIS.
The P30 Pro features a 20MP ultra-wide-angle camera (16mm) with autofocus and as well as a ToF sensor. The multilayer depth of field effect uses this – making for more realistic bokeh. Also, the Hybrid zoom is now back and it can move up to 10x (you can push this to 50x with the digital zoom).
There are also a few changes in the front of the device. The phone features a 6.47 – inch AMOLED screen with 1080p+. It also features an in – display fingerprint reader which will perform better than the one seen in the Mate 20Pro.
Another thing is that the notch has been reduced to a teardrop size. It hosts a high-resolution 32MP selfie camera with a more advanced improvement in the bokeh rendering. But the 3D face scanning hardware was dropped.
The Huawei P30 Pro is powered by the Kirin 980 chipset with heavy duty cooling. It came with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 512GB internal storage. This can be expanded with the help of the new Nano memory card.
The P30 Pro houses a 4,200mAh with 40W Super Charge as well as 15W fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. That means the P30 Pro came with Huawei's best charging tech. The phone is water resistant (IP68) and the phone is built on a metal frame sandwich between panes of glass.
The pre-ordering of the device starts today. The price of the device starts at €1000 for the 8/128GB model. But if you need more storage, the 256GB cost €1,100 and 512GB is €1,250.
