Mikel Arteta's side, who temporarily lost their place to Manchester United's win over Tottenham on Saturday, regained their place with their fifth straight win.
Arsenal, who still have three games in hand, did not fail to win at the Emirates against Leicester, who face the final stretch of the season without any goals. Far from Europe and also from relegation.
Gunners continue their positive streak
Arteta's team reaffirmed the solidity it has shown in its recent matches and after eleven minutes opened the scoring in an action that was born from a set-piece by Gabriel that was headed by Thomas to beat Kasper Schmeichel.
The second goal came after the halftime break. A handball inside the box by Turkey's Caglar Soyuncu was detected by the VAR and penalized with a penalty that Lacazette converted to seal the game.
Not even the disadvantage provoked a reaction from the visitors, who were resigned to their fate against a superior opponent with clearer objectives.
Arsenal, who are eight points behind third-placed Chelsea, are one ahead of Manchester United. Leicester is twelfth, out of European places and out of danger of relegation.
