United will finally return home to the Mia Sports Field for the first time in weeks as it looks to score a win over the last-placed Strikers.

However, the side will again be without some of their regular faces thanks to injury and other commitments.

Being unable to field the same consistent side every week is something of a frustration for coach Frank Alampi.

"The first three rounds were really good, we had the same team each week for those games," he said.

"Since then we've really struggled to field our full side. There's been a few injuries, players with other commitments and having to work ... that sort of thing.

"It can't be helped, but it can be a bit tricky."

Leeton United has built a solid pool of depth to draw on this season, with their reserve grade side also faring well so far this season.

Alampi doesn't like pulling too many away from the second-string team, but has had to bring some players up and will likely need to do so for Sunday's match.

Having a different line-up each week hasn't hurt the Pascoe Cup side too much.

United are sixth on the ladder and still have two more catch up games to play, which could further boost their position.

The area Alampi sees the team struggling with the most is its ability to convert opportunities into scoring.

"Defensively in the last couple of weeks and, I'd say, for most of the season, we've been really good," he said.

"We haven't let in too many goals at all.

"It's just the other end we're having trouble with. We need to be working hard on taking our chances and converting them."

Taking on a bottom-placed team can also be a difficult task if players don't go into the match with the right attitude.

"Coota will be a tough game ... they might be down the bottom, but they haven't copped too many really bad losses," Alampi said.

"We need to approach it like we would taking on a top team. They definitely pushed us in round one."
