Round 8 of the Evolution Solar Football League is set to feature a classic contest when reigning premiers Wests host competition front runners Nanango in a super soccer showdown at Tom Alford Oval.
Nanango has remained undefeated this season, coming off a dominant 9-0 victory against Gunners.
The hosts scored their second win two weeks ago with a 2-1 victory against Barambah to stay near the top two.

Wests last outing was a 2-1 victory against Barambah while Nanango also takes winning form into Saturday's match after a 2-1 win over Gunnettes.
In second division, competition leaders Nanango will look to continue their great start when they take on a Wests side chasing a top-two position.
Other fixtures will pit Barambah and Gunners at Murgon Showgrounds.
The hosts will aim for their first win of the season against a Gunners squad looking to bounce back after a heavy loss to Nanango.
