    Liverpool have won five of their last eight, with their only defeat coming when they were beaten on penalties in the Capital One Cup final by Manchester City. So are the Reds ready to finish the season strongly?

    "The problem of confidence is that it is a little flower and, if you step on it, it is gone in a second," says Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

    "It (reaching the Europa League quarter-finals) should give us a lot of confidence but we will see what happens. It's not just about confidence but more about how we feel about the way we play.

    "Southampton are a really good side so we have to be at 100% to get something. It's difficult to imagine what will happen but the only thing we can do is try our best."

    Southampton v Liverpool (Sunday, 13:30 GMT)

    Liverpool are still in the Europa League and within reach of a top four spot but Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains wary of the impact the international break may have on his squad.

    "There is only Southampton and then two weeks break when the players are around the world," says Klopp.

    "We need to figure out who will be available for Sunday at Southampton and then, hopefully, they will all come back healthy. 

    "It's an intensive time for the players and we will, hopefully, have them available for the rest of the season."

    Liverpool beat Manchester United to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League and will find out their quarter-final opponent in about an hour but can they win the tournament?

    "When you are in the quarter-final it is possible to get to final - that's all," says Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

    "There's a long way to go. We took all the games very serious, we were very concentrated and did what we had to do. 

    "If you want to win this competition then you have to beat the best teams, not too important when.

    "Yesterday night was great. It was a big thing to do and the lads did well."
