Both are fine. English is wonderful like this.

There are 100 people going to the party, so I expect that it will be a good night.

There are 100 people going to the party, so I expect it will be a good night.

There are 100 people going to the party, so I expect a good night.

There are 100 people going, I expect it will be a good night.

100 people are going, I expect a good night.

100 party-goers! I expect a good night.

Party! I expect a good night.

Party! Party! PARTY!

Goodnight.

  • Thanks for your answer. Is there a difference in formality between the two versions? – gjb May 12 '11 at 13:05

I can't really speak for British specific English, as I'm American. But, I can say that both of those are generally acceptable in these parts.
