After overcoming a tough challenge from Mount Pleasant last week to win by 31 points, the undefeated Cats (5-0) host fourth-placed North Bendigo (4-2).
"It's another great challenge backing up after a tough game last week," LBU coach Brodie Collins said on Friday.
"We've trained well this week and we'll trust the process that we've implemented that has got us into this position.
"We'll continue to focus on what we do well and if it's good enough, it's good enough, but if not we'll address what we need to.
"We know North Bendigo is playing some good footy and we'll have to make sure we're switched on from the start of the game."
The powerful Cats have kicked at least 118 points in four of their five wins so far and have won 18 of their 20 quarters as they have continued on from where they left off last season when they were the undefeated "minor premiers".
North Bendigo - the last visiting team to win at Lockington in round seven of 2019 - makes the trip north off the back of comfortable wins over Huntly (87 points) and Leitchville-Gunbower (79) the previous fortnight.
