Super Eagles midfielder Chrisantus Uche will be targeting his first Premier League goal when Crystal Palace take on Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday night, Bold Sports reports.
Uche has gained some form in recent weeks, scoring in back to back Conference League games against Shelbourne and KuPS. Before then, the Nigerian had limited appearances for Palace and had not started any game across all competitions since joining on loan from Getafe.
Although he is yet to establish himself as a regular starter, the 22-year-old is slowly gaining the trust of coach Oliver Glasner and may be introduced against Leeds as Crystal Palace look to continue their impressive away form in the Premier League.
The Eagles boast the league’s strongest away record this season, with five wins from eight matches on the road. Their only defeats have come against Everton and Arsenal, while they drew with Chelsea.

Due to their impressive form, Glasner’s men currently occupy fifth place in the standings, just two points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea. A win over Leeds could see them break into the top four, provided results elsewhere fall in their favour.
On the other hand, Leeds will be desperate for victory as they currently sit 17th on the table with 16 points, just three points above the relegation zone. Daniel Farke’s side are unbeaten in their last three outings, but defensive frailties remain a concern, having failed to record a clean sheet in 12 consecutive matches.
The last meeting between the two sides at Elland Road came in 2023, when Crystal Palace ran out emphatic 5–1 winners. The Whites will be hoping for a significantly better result this time around, in what will be their final home game of 2025.
