Arsenal and England forward Beth Mead leads the nominees as Sports Personality of the Year 2022 takes place in Salford on Wednesday night.
The Lionesses star scored six goals and recorded five assists as England's women won a historic Euro 2022 crown at Wembley in the summer. She would be the first female footballer to win the award should she be crowned.
Her most likely challenger is England men's Test cricket captain Ben Stokes , with the all-rounder having played a starring role as England won the T20 World Cup as well as helping the Test side transform their fortunes with series wins against New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan.
