The Blues produced a gritty defensive display to hold off the challenge from the Gunners, with Didier Drogba and Alex both getting on the scoresheet.
Arsenal had periods in the game when they were on top but never managed to turn their possession into clear chances.
Wilkins was delighted that the West Londoners got back to winning ways in the Premier League, having lost out to Manchester City last weekend.
"Whenever we play Arsenal they worry me because they are one of the teams that can take the ball off us and we might not get it back for a period," he told Sky Sports.
"They did that today without scoring thankfully. They do worry me and I was absolutely thrilled that we got the three points against them.
"We are managing to be very consistent with picking up points now. We were desperately disappointed with the way we played against Manchester City.
"We put that right against Marseille and today has been a fantastic win for us."
Carlo Ancelotti was in the dugout despite the death of his father earlier in the week, and Wilkins believes the result will have helped him through a difficult period.
"I think it would have helped him immensely. He's had a really tough week and even today it's been difficult for him," he added.
"But he's a trooper and he just wanted to be out there with the lads and I think they responded in the best possible fashion."
Didier Drogba continued to be Arsenal's nemesis and scored a lovely backheel in the 39th minute.
The Ivorian powerhouse remarked: "I think I scored one like that in the Champions League in the group stage, I don't remember the team we played.
"This one is much better because it put us 1-0 up and then we played a bit better."
