shall or will in that sentence

Hi!

I'm doing an english test and here is a question:

"They ... come to see us next week."
And I have two options: "shall" and "will".

I'm not sure what to choose because for me they both can be used in this sentence.
Thanks!

Given that so few people use "shall" at all anymore, it is astounding how useless this question is. We can only guess at its purpose. Use "will".
