The home side is yet to taste defeat but have had one of their early byes, so they sit in second behind the reigning premiers.
Since their round one loss, the Suns have come out firing, scoring the most goals in the competition so far but they do battle with the league's best defence as West have only let four goals through.
The two sides hot on their heels, City Marians and Queechy Penguins, go head-to-head at St Leonards' Northern Hockey Centre.
Both look to get back on the winners' list, tasting defeats to the sides above them over the past two weeks.
Queechy have had the time to sit back and reflect on their Suns loss thanks to last week's bye.
The round's other women's match sees two sides trying to pick up their first points of the season.
South Burnie host Smithton, with the home side having found the back of the net on three occasions while the developing Saints have been put to the sword early.
GNL Men's
In the absence of the competition's undefeated ladder-leaders South Launceston, the league's next best do battle to shore up second spot.
Queechy Penguins host Burnie Baptist and thanks to the Suns' superior goal difference, neither side can pass them but a win can go a long way to setting up the season.
Tamar Churinga picked up the first points of their GNL return last week to end their Friday night run and will this week hit the road to play West Devonport.
It's the side's first away trip and will be met by the Dragons who sit two spots above them in sixth thanks to their Smithton win.
The Saints will have their work cut out for them against South Burnie, with last year's grand finalists sitting in fourth and only having lost to South Launceston.
Smithton travel to McKenna Park for the clash as they hunt for their first score of the year.
Launceston City bring City Marians to St Leonards in what shapes to be an intriguing contest.
After a tough start fixture-wise, the Tigers claimed their first points of the season in a draw with Tamar last week, while Marians sit two wins outside of the top four.
