Everton, Leeds and Burnley are fighting for top-flight survival in England and are being led by the type of manager Premier League teams don’t typically turn to in a crisis. Clubs battling the drop have often defaulted to veteran managers with decades of experience as well as a supposed ability to organize a defense and eke out enough points to keep a team up. Everton, Leeds and Burnley have bucked the trend under Frank Lampard, Jesse Marsch and Mike Jackson. Each has made a positive difference since being hired but one of them will still get relegated.
