The 26-year-old has so far scored 23 goals, following his brace in the 3-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday.
Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes saves two penalities from Bent during the game.
“If I had got the other two, 30 might not have been too far away,” he said.
“To be fair, I am happy with how many goals I have got at the moment, but I don’t want to stand on it. I want to keep going and if I can get past that 25-mark, I will be delighted.”
