'Legend and future legend' - Chelsea fans react as Ivanovic and Gallagher start for West Brom

Conor Gallagher is making his West Bromwich Albion debut this evening.

Gallagher joined West Brom on a season-long loan after signing a new five-year Chelsea contract. And he has been handed a spot in the Baggies' starting XI for their clash with Championship outfit Brentford this evening in the Carabao Cup.

He's not the only player with a Chelsea link in the West Brom starting XI this evening, either.

Blues legend Branislav Ivanovic is also making his debut for West Brom this evening after joining the Midlands club on a one-year deal.

Chelsea fans have been reacting to the duo getting the nod this evening.

Here's what they have had to say on Twitter.

Gallagher spent last season on loan with Swansea City, impressing as the Welsh club snuck into the play-offs on the final day, eventually losing in the semi-finals.

Ivanovic, meanwhile, has spent the last three years with Zenit after nine years with Chelsea, winning three Premier League titles, a Champions League, Europa League and many more titles during his time at Stamford Bridge.
