***** NOT A TEACHER *****

I most respectfully suggest that you need the verb "am" where I have put it in boldface.

Furthermore, I do not understand exactly what idea you wish to express. Could you please explain further?

Thank you.

Your sentence has correct grammar, and implies that the person never told you they would be there, but you could have easily guessed that they would be (because they always go to that person's party, always go to that type of event, etc).

Yes, "I should have known you would be here" does not mean "I already knew you were here."
