Sky don't give a sh*t about relegation contenders

from March onwards they just show all the big teams to ensure they are showing the game where the title is decided on TV (to justify this they create an imaginary title race even when - like this year - there isn't one by then). You then get loads of pretty meaningless Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City etc games on TV until the last weekend while any relegation duels are guaranteed to be on at 3 o'clock on Saturday
