Christiane Endler has been here before, finishing second twice in a row prior to this. The 30-year-old helped PSG to the Division 1 Feminine title last season. She conceded just four goals all season and was named the division's best goalkeeper.

Germany international Ann-Katrin Berger helped Chelsea to the domestic title and won the competition's Golden Glove for keeping more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper.

Labbe, who was Endler's successor in the PSG net, was key to Canada's drive to gold at the 2020 Summer Olympics, conceding just two of six penalties in the final shoot-out against Sweden.

The Netherlands' Sari van Veenendaal won the inaugural Best Fifa Women's Goalkeeper award in 2019 and Sarah Bouhaddi followed that up by bringing the accolade home to France in 2020.

Who is going to take it this year? Here are the nominees...

Fara Williams must be a legend. The caption on screen has just confirmed her as a "Fifa legend" no less.

She is here to dish out the women's goalkeeper award.

Canadian basketball player Steve Nash has just been wheeled out to wax lyrical about Sinclair. Legend to legend.

And to another legend, here comes Fara Williams.

More from Canada international Christine Sinclair: "Now it is truly a global game where there is professional environments and successful leagues and tournaments. I do want to say that women's football, women's football and athletes have often been an after thought. My goal moving forward is to continue the fight and for change. Thank you again for the recognition."

Canada international Christine Sinclair: "I would like to take this time to thank Fifa for this once in a lifetime recognition. First and foremost thanks to my family. To my parents for letting me go off and chase my dreams, to my brother - I hope he knows all I wanted to be was him. I have been lucky to win trophies internationally and at club level. The victories are quickly forgotten - apart from the Olympic gold medal! What lasts most is the connections I have made. To all my team-mates, I hope you know how thankful I am to all of you."

We start with a special recognition for Christine Sinclair, who became the all-time leading scorer in international football last year. 188 goals and counting for the Canadian.

Jermaine and Reshmin are front and centre right now. Both looking dapper.

It's understandably a much more low-key affair than in previous years considering the circumstances across the globe.

Here comes Fifa president Gianni Infantino...

Tonight represents the sixth Fifa Best Awards. You're doing very well if you can name with absolutely accuracy many of the previous winners and the year/s they won it. Or maybe I've just not been paying enough attention.

What I do know for sure is that we're scheduled to get under way at 18:00 GMT in Fifa's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.

Reshmin Chowdhury and Jermaine Jenas are the hosts.

These awards are voted for by international managers, captains of international teams, journalists and fans. So if you're not happy with the results, you know who to blame.

They take in performances from 8 October 2020 to 6 August 2021 for the women's awards and 8 October 2020 to 7 August 2021 for the men.

You're the best!

Around!

Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!

Evening everyone and welcome to our live coverage of the Fifa Best Awards - the Golden Globes to the Ballon d'Or's Oscars.

Tonight, is pretty much exactly as it says on the tin... Fifa will hand out awards to football's best. Men's and women's player, coaches from both sides of the game and goal, as well as a world XI and a recognition of fair play.

It will likely go on forever.
