Most verbs of thinking can be followed by will if there is future reference.<br />
These include: think, believe, expect, doubt.<br />

I doubt whether United will win.<br />
3 Just/just about to<br />
Just can be used to describe something on the point of happening. Hurry up!<br />
The train is just leaving/just about to leave.<br />
4 Shall<br />
The use of shall for first person in future reference is generally considered to<br />
be restricted in British English and possibly declining in use.<br />
See Units 11and 12 for uses in expressing obligation. For some speakers,<br />
shall is used in formal speech and in written language.
