The 29 year old scored another treble for Al Ahli on Wednesday evening as they put four past Al Ettifaq in Jeddah.
The win puts the Royals just within two points of leaders Al Hilal who play later on Thursday.
Speaking after the match, Ivan Toney told reporters in the mixed zone that he hopes the Blues slip up before facing them in the next matchday where he’s banking on a victory.
Al Hilal are two points clear at the top but play on Thursday against Al Qadsiah who have been invincible under Brendan Rodgers.
Should the Simone Inzaghi led side fail to secure maximum points from that game, Al Ahli will then have a chance of leapfrogging or tying them with a win when the two sides meet next week, depending on the final outcome of Thursday’s game.

Asked what the secret to his spot kick prowess is, he answered with this; “I can’t tell you the secret.”
