Jurgen Klopp has admitted he will 'have to see' who is available for Liverpool's trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The Reds' dreams of a quadruple remain alive after they moved into the FA Cup quarter-finals following a 3-0 win over Southampton at Anfield. After claiming the Carabao Cup last weekend against Chelsea at Wembley, Liverpool now turn their attention back to the Premier League title race. Klopp's troops top the table by one point ahead of Manchester City, with Arsenal a further point behind.

Against Southampton, Liverpool were without 13 players amid a mounting injury crisis. Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai all failed to be given the green light to feature again, while Wataru Endo missed out because of ankle knock sustained against Chelsea.

Liverpool's youngsters stepped up to the fore to prevail over Southampton, with Lewis Koumas bagging on debut before fellow 18-year-old forward Jayden Danns hit a double off the bench.

However, to sustain a title charge, the Reds need senior players back heading to Forest, who lost 1-0 against Manchester United - which means Liverpool will travel to Old Trafford in the FA Cup last eight.

Anfield boss Klopp said: "It was not a game in the first half where you can be ecstatic all the time but the support we got, the feeling the people created is positive. It was super-class, I loved it really. And second half was easier to go for it and then we did that and it was top. And in away games, whoever comes with us needs to try to push from a corner or wherever in the stadium to do that because it's trickier. We will see who can play on Saturday – that's unfortunately really not a lot of time. They [Nottingham Forest] played tonight as well, I know, so let's see.

Asked if he knows anything about the potential availability of Salah or Nunez, Klopp replied with a shrug of his shoulders: "Don't know."
