American international Lichaj, drafted in from Aston Villa for an initial month this week, will step in for Paul Connolly, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
Striker Sanchez Watt is still out after missing the last two games due to a similar problem. Winger Robert Snodgrass is expected to be fit following his debut for Scotland in the midweek Carling Nations Cup win over Northern Ireland.
But Grayson has yet to check on strikers Davide Somma and Ramon Nunez, who were also on international duty this week, for South Africa and Honduras respectively. Grayson has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side look to keep pace with the automatic promotion chasers.
