Fourth place, the coveted trophy Arsenal have won nine times in the Premier League era, is there for the taking again.
Since Richard Keys and Andy Gray invented football in 1992, nobody has commandeered the back-door key to Champions League riches more than the Gunners, and a fifth straight win lifted them back above Manchester United into the fourth protocol.
Whisper it quietly, but at this rate they could even give Chelsea a run for their money in the race for third.
And much of Chelsea's money has been frozen by the banks.
Goals from Thomas Partey and Alex Lacazette deservedly gave Arsenal the points here, although it was not without controversy or the odd scare.
It is fair to say the Gunners' waning influence at English football's top table took root the day a sanctioned oligarch moved in across town and, in the words of former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, parked his tanks on our lawns firing £50 notes.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Can Arsenal pip Chelsea to third? Let us know in the comments section.
Dein's warning proved prescient – especially the part about £50 notes.
But there is growing confidence at the Emirates that, after three difficult seasons since Arsene Wenger rode into the sunset, the worst may be over.
In a gesture of solidarity, Arsenal restored Ukrainian defender Oleg Luzhny – who has returned to his homeland to join the Territorial Defence Force – to their first team squad on the back of the matchday programme.
Luzhny, who made a century of appearances for the Gunners and featured in the 2001-02 Double-winning side, was afforded his old No.22 shirt.
And inside 11 minutes, Leicester – who had already conceded 19 goals from set pieces this season - didn't have Oleg to stand on again.
Partey is not renowned for his aerial prowess, but he rose to meet Gabriel Martinelli's corner with a firm near-post header, only the second goal of his Gunners career.
Normally, Partey's shooting is a spot-the-ball contest, with the winning entries often located in the upper tiers or neighbouring postcodes, yet the Ghanaian midfielder was inches away from a second eight minutes later, curling a 20-yard shot against the angle of post and bar.
As the shots rained in on Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel for half an hour, it looked as if Leicester would be in for a long afternoon.
But Arsenal have often been grateful for Aaron Ramsdale's thrilling interventions this season. He excelled with a miraculous save to deny James Maddison in the Gunners' 2-0 win at the King Power last October and the magic in his fingertips has not expired.
His one-handed effort to divert Harvey Barnes' header destined for the top corner after 35 minutes made you believe a man can fly. It was simply outstanding.
If Ramsdale is not pushing Jordan Pickford for the England No.1 shirt against Switzerland and Ivory Coast later this month, Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate is suffering from a blind spot, if not a total eclipse of his judgement.
Southgate can pick three blind mice if he wants, but nothing could be as infuriating as our old friend VAR – and Leicester's goose was cooked by yet another jobsworth poking his nose in.
Somewhere in a bunker, Darren England advised referee Anthony Taylor that Caglar Soyuncu's fingertip had brushed Partey's header before Luke Thomas hooked it off the line.
Clear and obvious mistake? Your missus paints nail varnish on her finger with less force than Soyuncu's minimal contact with the ball, but after studying several replays on the pitchside monitor, Taylor decided it was worth a penalty.
The sooner VAR, and all the technology that ruins football matches, is consigned to a landfill pit, the better because nobody seems to know the rules.
Alex Lacazette buried the spot-kick high beyond Schmeichel, and Arsenal were good value for their margin of victory.
But when you get a penalty awarded for nail varnish in one Premier League game, where a blatant shirt-pull and shove is waved through at another the same day, it is scandalous.
