Leeton United are taking on Lake Albert at the Mia Sportsground on Sunday afternoon on the back of a top win against Hanwood last weekend.

However, it has come at a cost. Several players have accumulated too many yellow cards and will sit out the match, while others have been suspended.

Ethan Murphy, Jarred Flynn, Nick Trifogli and Dan McKenzie will all sit out the match as a result.

It comes as a blow for the side, which may still need a victory on Sunday afternoon to secure their spot in the Pascoe Cup finals.

On the other side of the coin, a win for Lake Albert could see them secure the minor premiership.

Leeton coach Frank Alampi said there is no point dwelling on the side's outs, but focusing on the task at hand.

"It is disappointing, but it is what it is," Alampi said.

"Dan and Nick are out for just the one match and we haven't heard about the other two yet."

The coach will need to draw on the depth in reserve grade to cover the losses.

This means several of their players will need to step up and fill the void in a high-pressure situation.

"Reserve grade have had a good year, so I'm confident the players we have come up will help get the job done," Alampi said.

"It's not something we want to do, especially because I think they (reserve grade) are playing for the minor premiership on Sunday, but we don't really have a choice.

"We'll shift a few players around to different spots and just see how it goes."

Last time United met the Sharks, it was Lake Albert who came away with a 3-2 victory.

It was a match Alampi looks back on with disappointment.

"It's definitely one of those games this season we should have won ... we made some silly errors that led to them scoring," he said.

"We should have at least gotten a draw, but instead we lost. Hopefully that will be different this time around."

The side has struggled this season to capitalise on the numerous opportunities it creates and those that come their way.

However, last weekend they proved they could do it and a repeat performance will be required this weekend.

"It's just about taking our chances when they come - and they will come," Alampi said.
