How does this work in the Prem? Is there the same 5 week commitment they have in the FL? I did look around the Sky website but couldn't find anything.

Why do they wait until 11th August to announce the October and November picks? The season won't have started by then so they'll be basing their decisions on exactly the same information available to them in July.
My prediction for August/September is that Manchester City (h) will be on Super Sunday and Bournemouth (a) will be on either Friday or Monday night. They'll see that as a chance to show two of the lesser clubs and tick some boxes with the narrative of it being a south coast derby, even though neither club cares about the other. I don't think any of our other fixtures will appeal to Sky/BT.
