Correct form of verb

Hello,
I saw this in a grammar book:
'If you come/'ll come to London again, you come/must come and see us'
How do I know which is the correct choice, in both cases, as each option seems valid.
Thank you.

Hello again,
The various options, I imagine are:
If you come to London again, you come to see us.....sounds like an instruction.
'If you come to London again, you will come to see us….sounds like a prediction
If you will come to London again, you come to see us…..sounds almost like a negative statement
If you will come to London again, you will come to see us…..The first clause

You can't do this in English. You can't combine "if" and "will" (or "if" and "would"). [There are a few special exceptions, but in general this rule should be followed.]
