The Gunners, who arrived at 16 in the Champions League in midweek, took early by Olivier Giroud.
Aaron Ramsey then started and finished an excellent reward against first control after party.
Jack Grealish returned to action for Villa, who improved after the break but squandered a number of chances.
The defeat of the Villa, with positive results of some of its rivals, means they are now eight points adrift of safety with only six points in 16 games.
In contrast, Arsene Wenger has won 10 league games this season and lead the division, one point ahead of Manchester City, who beat Swansea Saturday and Leicester, who face champions Chelsea on Monday night.
Giroud was the hero for Arsenal in Greece Wednesday, scoring his first hat-trick Gunners as they claimed victory over Olympiakos needed to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
The third of these goals came from the penalty spot and was again an opportunity to score from 12 yards in the eighth minute when Alan Hutton Villa Park was tried for shooting Walcott in the box.
At first it seemed that the referee Kevin Friend had ignored calls by Arsenal before finally - and successfully - to note the place, much of the anger of the home crowd.
With boos rang around the stadium, the home side Giroud leg coldly his 14th goal of the season to become the seventh player to score 50 goals in the Premier League with Arsenal, made in 113 games.
Giroud was not the only Arsenal player to reach a remarkable milestone in the Villa Park - Petr Cech has kept 169 clean sheets (349 games) in the Premier League, equaling the record of David James (223 games less).
