count on
Bank on firmly
Count on means to rely or depend on someone or something: You can count on me to be there.
It implies trust in reliability or expectation of a particular outcome: I'm counting on good weather for the picnic.
To count on something happening is to assume it will: Don't count on getting a raise this year.
